If -m32 is in CFLAGS the $(filter -m32,$(CFLAGS)) is nonempty and we
will add -L$(top_builddir)/lib regardless. We will build the lib32 as
well but never use it.

And you have to pass LDLAGS=-m32 to the configure script as well, since
the implicit rule to build an executable from list of object files is:

$(CC) $(LDFLAGS) n.o $(LOADLIBES) $(LDLIBS)

Hence if you pass -m32 only to CFLAGS the compiler will fail to link the
ltp-pan binary.

Passing -m32 in CFLAGS only works for testcases though, since they are
compiled and linked in one try and hence use both LDFLAGS and CFLAGS.

Ok. I guess that we should use recent enough headers...
