Its not you, its me.. :)  I just recently (this morning) changed buildrom
so that it passed about the 32 bit flags by default, to better enable
building on a 64 bit host.

On its face, this is a bug from way back - we should be
encapsulating all usages of $(CC), $(LD), etc in quotes.  But now I'm
wondering if we should bother passing the flags in to the kernel at all, since
it obviously knows how to do the right thing.
 
Let me think about it for a few minutes and get a patch up.
