Are you running a 32-bit userspace, with x86_64 kernel? Or running
x86_64 userspace as well and trying to crossbuild for i386? In the
latter case NO_64BIT won't do what you hope, it's to avoid trying to
build a 64-bit binary in the former case.

You could force -m32 into CFLAGS in the second case, but unless you have
the proper i386 bi-arch toolchain installed (glibc, etc.) it likely
won't build...
