64 bit kernel + 32 bit userspace is calling for trouble. At one place
the autotools stuff will think it needs 64 bit pointers but the compiler
supports only 32 bit pointers.

I was once experiencing this problem on an x86_64 box with 64 bit kernel
and 32 bit userland.

If possible try running a 32 bit kernel.
