Actually, you have built for IA64 (strictly speaking, IPF) - just a 32-bit
version of IA64 :)

To get 64-bit compilation, you need to add +DD64 to the compile.  The
+DD32/+DD64 syntax replaces the other +DA options and should work for both IPF
and PA_RISC compilations of software. 

I'd suggest adding the +DD to a CFLAGS variable before you run the configure. 
(CFLAGS="+DD64" ./configure ..." Once you throw the switch, _everything_ that
you build will need to be 64 bit - one cannot mix 32-bit and 64 bit objects or
libraries in the same executable.
