[HACKERS] x86_64 configure problem

[Joe Conway]

On an x86_64 machine I'm finding that I cannot configure --with-python 
without the attached patch. Undoubtedly there is a better way to fix 
this -- any suggestions?

Another configure issue: I find that --enable-depend breaks parallel builds:
make -j 2

Any ideas about how to fix this?
Thanks,
Joe
