Building currently fails on x86-64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4, which
uses a /usr/lib64 directory. I think you also need a change to
src/config.in like the one below.

PS I guess this whole issue will cause problems if people try to build
a 32-bit Emacs on a 64-bit system (eg with -"m32"), but I think that
already doesn't work for other reasons:
