That would be useful.  It might also make sense to add a specific switch
for 64-bit platforms, since these are likely to become more common.  I'd
think something like:

  -64

Or maybe there's a way to detect this by default and make it happen 
automagically?  I think it should be available through uname, which we 
are already using in configure in the build process.

I suppose we could also see if this causes problems on a 32-bit system, and 
if not, just add it by default.  This seems like it would work, but is
just not very elegant.
