I think the basic definition of "32 bit" or "64 bit", certainly for
our purposes, is sizeof(void *). That is something that configure
could easily find out. Or you could look at sizeof(size_t) which
it already does find out.

I have no immediate proposal on how to factor that into the version
string.
