I think this would be the first package to add such a check.
How would you propose we implement this:
- in a pre-configure hook (but that will catch the failure late in the
build) ?
- in a make ifeq-block (so we can catch it early in the build) ?
The second solution is more appealing to me, but might be a bit more
complex to implement.

But that would prevent the combination on systems that are setup with
support for building 32-bit programs, which is a pity...
