RE: configure tests

[Billinghurst, David (CRTS)]

I wouldn't recommend using g++ or g77 from gcc-2.95.x with -mabi=64.  

With the soon to be released gcc-3.0 it will hopefully be a better
situation.  I have been testing the pre-release.  g77 seems solid with
-mabi=64. g++ used to work, but exception handling is broken at present
