Well, it works perfectly fine for me on a ppc64 RHEL machine at Red Hat...
I'm a bit suspicious of your method of getting a 64-bit build by
manually altering the compile/link flags. I believe the recommended
way of switching 32/64 environment is via setarch. I did
ppc64 sh
... configure and build within sub-shell ...
and got a working 64-bit executable without doing any special pushups.
