Furthermore even if the -m64 test were to be fixed it should not be used
in debian as on some systems it may be accepted in a simple test but
cause inappropriate binaries to be built and/or cause failures to find
libraries. If a debian architecture is supposed to have normal binaries
be 64-bit then it will have a compiler that generates 64-bit binaries by
default.
