So that's when I attempted to force > it all as 64bit. Did you try building those libraries as part of the GCC build, as described at http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/InstallingGCC ? That should automatically build them correctly and give you a working compiler (probably 32-bit, but capable of building 64-bit objects too.)
