Comment(by drkirkby):

 The method used to determine the target in {{{spkg-install}}} seems crazy
 to me. First it tries  using the the target {{{linux}}}, which
 specifically forces a 32-bit build, with the {{{-m32}}} flag.

 To me at least, on {{{sage.math}}}, I can compile with {{{-m32}}} and
 create a 32-bit binary:

 {{{
 kir...@sage:~$ cat test.c
 #include <stdio.h>

 int main() {
 printf("ddd");
 }
 kir...@sage:~$ gcc test.c
 kir...@sage:~$ file a.out
 a.out: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux
 2.6.8, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), not stripped
 kir...@sage:~$ gcc -m32 test.c
 kir...@sage:~$ file a.out
 a.out: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), for
 GNU/Linux 2.6.8, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), not stripped
 }}}

 So I would expect this to build 32-bit in most cases on Linux.

 Only if the 32-bit build fails does it try a 64-bit build!!

 Note for AIX and HP-UX, I did not bother with any such flags, but just let
 it read CFLAGS, where one could add {{{-m64}}} or whatever flag one needs.
