tries to link to 32-bit libs on 64-bit build

[Paul Raines]

I am trying to build libgnomedb from RPM on a 64-bit box. It dies as follows:

/bin/sh ../libtool --tag=CC --mode=link gcc  -O2 -g -pipe -m64   -o 
libgnomedb-2.la -rpath /usr/lib64 -version-info 4:0:0 db-shell.lo

/usr/lib/libpopt.so: could not read symbols: File in wrong format


Why despite the fact that there is -rpath /usr/lib64 there and there is
a perfectly valid /usr/lib64/libpopt.o is libtool resolving to use
/usr/lib/libpopt.so?
