So, it won't build on 32-bit Mac OS... but not for any sane reason; rather, it won't build because it's failing to pick up the appropriate gnulib shims to make the 'environ' function visible. I mean, HOW? It works just fine on 64-bit! Is this something that the ./configure script does differently between the two?
Just in case, is it correctly defined?
It should be this for Apple:
```
#include <crt_externs.h>
#define environ (*_NSGetEnviron())
```
I.e. different from Linux one.

I don't seem to have needed to do anything special to make it work, though I obviously do need to test whether it will build 32-bit only. I will report back if any relevant observations come up – as noted, it’s a 13-hour build, so this won’t be immediate.
