The correct way would be to try compiling something that will fail on
one arch or the other.  It's a trivial bit of assembler (use %rax or so),
but there is plain C code using the HAVE_FAST_64BIT flag, which would
get the wrong value if inline asm is not supported.  Another possibility
might be to check the size of long and/or pointer types (using nm).
