Huh, odd.
I had very similar problems on macppc, where adding -mcpu=970 would
result in 64bit code  ( unlike -mtune=970 which just enables
970-specific optimizations but does not change the target CPU ) if not
explicitly forbidden with -m32, with a toolchain built specifically for
32bit CPUs.
So much for consistency I guess.

have fun
