Building on non-std architectures

[pointo1d]

Hi all ,

I'm hoping that someone on here might have previously encountered the 
problem I'm now trying to solve, ergo trying to modify the autoconf 
scripts to support the building of a 31 bit target on a 64 bit machine - 
the compiler on the host does take the -m31 option, but autoconf seems 
to only recognise multiples of 4 bits - I could be and probably am, 
wrong in making this inference.

TIA & rgds ,
