I think because he's using a 64-bit kernel, but 32-bit libraries etc (so
programs like Emacs use a 32-bit ABI) -- and "uname" reports information
from the kernel.
There are two possible ways to fix for now:
1. Make a different configuration, perhaps amdx86-32.
configure would have to tell which to use.
2. Make that particular configuration conditionally define
BITS_PER_LONG, based perhaps on info that configure would have to
collect.
After the release we could perhaps move to having configure
always determine BITS_PER_LONG.
