For release purposes, AFAIK the host-side tools have only ever been
built in 32-bit mode. 32-bit executables work fine on 64-bit machines,
but not vice versa. The host-side tools don't do anything likely to
benefit from a 64-bit address space.
I do not know to what extent the host-side tools (including the
graphical configtool, and by implication most of wxWidgets) have been
tested in 64-bit mode. I would hope that there are no major problems,
but cannot be sure without testing, and right now 64-bit host-bit
support is a low priority.
So possibly /usr/lib64 should be added to the search path, or possibly
it would be better for now to add -m32 to the compiler flags when
building on a 64-bit machine. I don't know which approach would be
better in the short term or the long term.
