I forced -m64 to be passed everywhere (see my first post in the thread
for the details).  Wouldn't your suggestion (of making a gcc script
that called the real gcc with -m64) have had the same effect?  Oh...
maybe not, because the newly built compiler would have been used to
compile the libraries.

Anyway, I'm up and running now; I just built the default way (without
-m64), installed, then copied the lib directory from the resulting
install tree over the lib directory produced by the 64-bit build.
