If it is a system that has a 32-bit mode and the compiler defaults to 
32-bit mode (the original poster didn't say *what* kind of 64-bit 
system it is), then at least for some architectures it should be 
sufficient to give gcc the right option(s) to generate 64-bit code.  
There does seem to be a bug in our current release where the CFLAGS 
value specified at configure time isn't always passed to all 
invocations of the compiler, so I'd recommend passing the option via 
CC, kind of like this command that should build a 64-bit build on 
Solaris:

   $ ./configure --prefix=... CC='gcc -m64'
