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").
