Compiling 64-bit FLAC/libFLAC in OS X Lion

I'd like to use the libFLAC dynamic libraries in an app I'm trying to build, but I'm not too familiar with configure and make arguments to actually get FLAC to compile.

I have tried to CC="gcc -m64" CXX="g++ -m64" ./configure and that appears to run fine without issues, but when I run make, I still get 

[...lots of output with seemingly no errors...]

Any suggestions?

Sounds similar to this issue - user1118321
@user1118321 Actually, the answer to that question is where I got the configure flags that I've used above, but they do not seem to work in this situation. - ray
It is different from the linked issue in that in this case, you are compiling C files as 64-bit by default (it is so since Snow Leopard and continues with Lion. CC="gcc -m64" CXX="g++ -m64" doesn't do anything) and your problem arrives when trying to link these files with object files that were generated from IA32 assembly. You could try CC="gcc -m32" CXX="g++ -m32" ./configure: at least it will have some effects (I can't guarantee they will be positive). - Pascal Cuoq

To get this to compile on Lion, disable assembler optimizations:

% ./configure --disable-asm-optimizations
