Agreed. I think that in most cases it is essential set CC, PATH, etc
to setup an appropriate 64-bit environment before configuring. I would
like to make this as simple as possible. For example, although it
doesn't seem technically necessary to the hardcode library paths (say
using the embedded path capability of the dynamic loader) in apps,
this might make it easier for users to run a mix of 32 and 64-bit apps.
This isn't absolutely needed since LD_LIBRARY_PATH can be used to
locate 64-bit libraries, but I think it is an option to consider.
