Building jamvm 1.5.4 on OS X Lion

I have Xcode installed and the commandline tools are working. Macports fails to build jamvm 1.5.0 correctly so I'm trying to build the latest version (1.5.4) manually.

./configure doesn't complain about anything.

make fails with the following error:

Making all in src
make  all-recursive

How can I fix this?

NOTE: the Macports build fails with a different error.

As Andrew suggests this is a problem related to having 32 bit ASM instructions and trying to compile it as 64bit. The easy way out is to force GCC into 32 bit mode.

make clean
CFLAGS="-m32" ./configure

This makes compilation work and produces a working binary for me.
