m32 should not be needed.
This if-elseif statement is the wrong approach imo:
if [ $x86_64 = "yes" ]; then
cflags="$cflags -m64"
ocflags="$ocflags -m64"
elif [ "$processor" = "ia64" ]; then
cflags="$cflags"
ocflags="$ocflags"
elif [ "$processor" = "Power Macintosh" ]; then
cflags="$cflags"
ocflags="$ocflags"
else
cflags="$cflags -m32"
ocflags="$ocflags -m32"
fi
It should be :
if special reason to force 32 bits long/pointers then bla -m32
else if special reason to force 32 bits int, 64 bits long/p then bla -m64
else bla
fi
But the reasons for the existing if-elseif statement are not
documented in the code or the logs. So changing it now will
probably break something, but imo we should change it.

The code depending on fcntl.h is in ifdef 0 blocks.
So I put the header inclusion in the same kind of block.
