Actually, if you are preparing binaries of Macaulay the normal thing
would be to use --enable-fat. But for core2, this will specifically
pick the broken core2 code in your case. So, in actual fact, the
--build=x86_64 would be the only safe option if you are using custom
allocation, at the moment anyhow.
