Description:
BUILD/compile-amd64-max generates 32 bit binaries instead of 64 bit ones. It happens on Mac OS X only. I guess check-cpu doesn't work correctly on Mac OS X.

How to repeat:
Compile MySQL using BUILD/compile-amd64-max.

Suggested fix:
no idea

Workaround is: don't use BUILD/* scripts, use your own ./configure command lines, and set CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS to include -m64.

1) There are problems with OS X which doesn't clearly identify
   whether the CPU is 32 or 64 bit, causing some hacks in the
   release build process, too. This here is just another symptom.

2) The "BUILD/compile-*" scripts are not maintained by anybody,
   no officially supported scripts, just remnants of somebody trying.

3) What Valeriy called a "workaround" is indeed the proper way.

4) With the switch from autotools to cmake in 5.5, the situation
   has changed anyways.

=> This will probably never be looked at and handled.
   So I set "Won't fix".
