Which particular Emacs version on which AMD64-based OS have you tried?
I just tried this on SuSE Linux Enterprise 9 with an Athlon 64,
building emacs-21.4a-2.5.0.src.rpm.
The problem appears that the configure script at line 1643 recognizes
amd64*-*-*, and at line 1635 recognizes ia64*-*-* while the host system
type comes up with x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.
It appears that some hacking is necessary on the configure file
to get the right combination.
I'm up to my a$$ in alligators now so don't have time to hack on
this (and I'm a vi bigot not emacs :-).

Supposedly the more recent CVS versions of Emacs fix this problem, but I
haven't tested it yet.
Ralph - I'll give this a try later on tonight and let you know if it
works and what version.
Doug
