Actually, I've had to play with autoconf for wine for Solaris, so I
might be able to figure something out.

One of the things that one of my co-developers has done is
setting up a 32 and 64-bit solaris install for libsdl.  

So he used the same prefix, but then overloaded the 
bindir and libdir  (like --prefix=/usr/gnu --bindir=/usr/gnu/bin/amd64
--libdir=/usr/gnu/lib/amd64) so that the right sdl-config can
be picked up.  The only thing I'm wondering about is whether
it is appropriate for the 64-bit version to be adding "-m64" to
the output of "sdl-config ---cflags" and "sdl-config --libs".

It would sure make things simpler.  Thoughts?
