--> gcc (GCC) 4.0.2 20050901


./configure --enable-64bit give the following message
configure: warning: 64bit support being disabled -- don't know magic for this platform

Anyone know the magic ? :-)

I also had this issue on 64-bit RedHat Enterprise.

As Don mentions, gcc should compile OK without specifying
--enable-64bit. However, you may still get the above warning
message - I ignored this and the resulting compilation was
still OK...

The following thread gives some more background :
