 Right, Gustavo forgot to add that when he added e5500 and e6500. Patch follows.

 The problem is that the compiler doesn't seem to build 64-bit binaries unless
-m64 is specified, but glibc is configured for 64-bit.

 Just adding -m64 to BR2_TARGET_OPTIMIZATION works around the issue.

 Now that we have the toolchain wrapper, we could just add -DBR_64 in
toolchain-wrapper.mk whenever BR2_ARCH_IS_64. However, I'm not sure how that
will play with n32, ilp32 and x32 ABIs. Adding Vicente, Bamvor and Guido who
added those ABIs.
