Yes, I did that when trying to build Sage 4.1.2.alpha0 in 64-bit mode.
But I think it's not enough to set that environment variable to "yes";
one also needs to export it so that it would be picked up by

/usr/bin/evn

Before building Sage from source on Mac OS X 10.5.8 in 64-bit mode, I would do

export SAGE64=yes

and then issue "make". The default is to build in 32-bit mode. I have
successfully done so. Looking through the install.log file for a
32-bit build of Sage 4.1.2.alpha0, I see these lines:

checking for library containing strerror... none required
checking for __gmpz_init in -lgmp... yes

But the corresponding log file for a 64-bit build shows

checking for library containing strerror... none required
checking for __gmpz_init in -lgmp... no
configure: error: System gmp library requested but not found.
Failed to configure ECL ... exiting

So in the 32-bit case, ECL claims to have successfully detected the
necessary GMP library. But in the 64-bit case, it can't find that
library.
