Hmm... I know that Ed's next message asks about large file support and so I don't know and it is easy to get them confused but this message is asking about compiling with 64-bit pointers. The above enables large file support but not 64-bit pointers. Of course in 64-bit compilation mode you get large files too. I think for 64-bit compilation on platforms that support both that it is really better to let the user choose. Most platforms that support multiple architectures really do so without a good policy or plan about where libraries go and such. The user can quite easily choose 64-bit at configure time when it is desired.
