1) How can I _cleanly_ configure for that target ?

Probably, something like

CC="gcc -arch x86_64" ./configure && make

I'll try that. The main issue seemed to be the incorrect symbolic links though (linking to the xxx-32.h rather than xxx-64.h)

Yeah, it depends on how config.guess works
If it is not enough, do something like this

CC="gcc -arch x86_64" ./configure --build=x86_64-apple-darwin`uname -r`

Darwin is a mess in that they use the same triplet for both 32-bit and 64-bit.  It's probably possible to add a AC_CHECK_SIZEOF(long) in configure.ac, and use that to detect whether we're on 32- or 64-bit.

The OS supports both 32 and 64 bit executables. it all dependes on the -arch option passed down to create the universal binary. 

Or, install both versions and dispatch based on some #define that the preprocessor defines by default... many possibilities.

That is how I deal with it in my code. I check

defined(__x86_64__)
