Bug 24392

First, configure fails to detect that gcc produces 64-bit binaries, leading to

libtool: compile:  gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../.. -Wall -D_BSD_SOURCE -D_GNU_SOURCE -I../.. -DOIL_ENABLE_UNSTABLE_API -g -O2 -MT libi386_la-argb_paint_i386.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/libi386_la-argb_paint_i386.Tpo -c argb_paint_i386.c  -fno-common -DPIC -o .libs/libi386_la-argb_paint_i386.o
/var/folders/WC/WCQfew6LEaqrFEF+j4W8CE+++TI/-Tmp-//ccgjScsQ.s:52:Incorrect register `%rax' used with `l' suffix
/var/folders/WC/WCQfew6LEaqrFEF+j4W8CE+++TI/-Tmp-//ccgjScsQ.s:58:Incorrect register `%rax' used with `l' suffix
make[3]: *** [libi386_la-argb_paint_i386.lo] Error 1
make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 2

adding --host=x86_64-apple-darwin lets the build get further, failing at

libtool: link: ( cd ".libs" && rm -f "liboilfunctions.la" && ln -s "../liboilfunctions.la" "liboilfunctions.la" )
