http://rafb.net/p/gE0Arh11.html is what Raevel (the reporter) got with
-m32 (which made the most sense to me as OOPs are 4 bytes by default
there.)

For the x86 ffitarget.h to compile, either __i386__ or __x86_64__ must
be defined.  Neither of these seem to be defined by that compiler (gcc
4.0.1 20050625 (prerelease)).

This is a Core 2 Duo; my machine (and I assume that of most other
Darwin/x86 testers) is a Core Duo.  What kinds of breakage might there
be?

Raevel also said that '-D__i386__=1 -m32' broke while compiling, but I
didn't get an error log from that.
