#1525: Numpy is ignoring CFLAGS, which makes a 64-bit build difficult
------------------------+---------------------------------------------------
 Reporter:  drkirkby    |       Owner:  somebody
     Type:  defect      |      Status:  new     
 Priority:  normal      |   Milestone:  2.0.0   
Component:  numpy.core  |     Version:  1.3.0   
 Keywords:              |  
------------------------+---------------------------------------------------
 I am trying to get Numpy to build as a 64-bit executable, as part of a
 64-bit port of Sage to !OpenSolaris. But despite adding the compiler
 option -m64 (which generates 64-bit objects) to CFLAGS, Numpy ignores this
 so GCC generates an error.

 The same issue has been known in Sage for a long time affecting OS X
 systems where building 32-bit objects is the default, so one needed the
 -m64 compiler flag to generate the 64-bit code.

 {{{
  wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64
 }}}

 which is typical of when a program is expecting to find a 32-bit object,
 but finds a 64-bit one.
