This only depends on your toolchain:
If you don’t specify a compiler when calling configure the default system compiler will be used.
On Intel 64bit systems, the system compiler most likely will default to 64bit. But this is not necessarily always the case, and on non-Intel 64bit systems it is common for the system compiler to default to 32bit.

There is a configure option „--cc“ that you can use to force 32 or 64 bit compilation:
./configure --cc=gcc -m32
(Needs parentheses around gcc -m32!!)
