On Red Hat AS 4, Xeon EM64T (64-bit).

Compile fails as follows (for cppunit version 1.11.4
and 1.10.2):

I tried ./configure --with-pic but it didn't help.

./configure --with-gnu-ld doesn't help either.

'./configure --host=i686' build completes.

I'm not sure whether the resulting tools and libraries will
work with my unit tests, though.
