Just a quick `wtf' comment:

It does (or rather, should). AMD64 should be detected by configure if it
runs on a native AMD64 system. Just to be clear: I run gentoo Linux on an
AMD64 (in 64 bit mode) myself. This needs investigation.

Also note that building the `plain C UNIX version' gives a different
library than the `AMD64 native' build, though only subtly so (you miss out
on CPUID and maybe some optimisation switches and that's about it).

As Peter said, none of us are autoconf experts. If you can help out with
this, please.
