Oh oh, you have to check the Makefile. It is using a separate step to link all 
object files together into one shared library file. Unfortunately it forgot 
to add GCC's '-m32' command line option. :-( 
(Remember -m32 = 32bit output, -m64 = 64bit output; standard/if nothing 
specified => -m64)

Your CFLAGS are okay but they are not applied here. Try it again with the 'CC' 
special variable set:

[..]
export CC="gcc -m32"
./configure .. bla bla
make .. bla bla
[..]

These are the typical error/warning messages you get when you try to link 
both, 32bit and 64bit object files together. You cannot mix 32bit and 64bit 
object files.
