 This was *exactly* what I did!

 > It would be good to see some evidence the patch actually works. Such as
 byshowing the output of the 'ldd' command, that the library and/or binary
 is now a 64-bit one. For some packages, it is unnecessary to add -m64 and
 forothers, adding it does not generate 64-bit binaries. For zlib, adding
 -m64 stops the build of shared libraries.

 I opened the ticket *because* without -m64 set pari build in 32 bit!
