It looks like you've copied *.o files from your 64 bit build
to your 32 bit box.  If that's your problem, then the easiest
solution is to delete everything and start over.

Alternatively, you could run "make distclean"; that will delete
a lot of generated files and then re-run configure.  After that,
running "make" should work.


Hope this helps,
