Eh, sort of. I had build flags set in my (yes, MY) build system that
I had forgotten about. I don't have the toolchain building natively as
64 bit ABI, however, at this point it doesn't matter as I am controlling
it from my build system. Felt pretty bad when I found that I was passing
-msoft-float and -mabit=n32 through my own build system.

It turned out to be both the flags above mixing up with the
way I wanted from another package. That was soooo last week. I've
put out so many fires since then :).
I really appreciate that you asked about it, though. I should have
answered back to close the loop on my own question but I've been swamped
at home and work. Sorry about that.
Thanks again!
