Problem building GDB on Power64

On a ppc64 system, GDB builds as a 32-bit application. This is OK if the
64-bit dev. env. is not available. But if it is, this is wrong: GDB should
build as a 64-bit application so that both 64 and 32 bit apps can be
debugged.
If I understood the configure process, I would have tried submitting a patch.
It should be easy: just include -m64 in the CFLAGS. And make sure to link
with the 64-bit libraries (which had better be there).
