This doesn't work if people compile a 32-bit version of QEMU.  The right 
directory could be obtained with "gcc --print-multi-os-directory 
$CFLAGS", but I'm not sure whether it is a good thing to do.  We should 
try to avoid gratuitous differences from Autoconf.

The right thing to do would be to tweak the command-line supported by 
configure to the point that packagers can just use the same command-line 
that Autoconf uses (in RPM parlance that would be "%configure").
