Bug #1503: Incorrect arch flag passed in when building on 64-bit platform

Description

Not really sure how to make this do the right thing, but on a 64-bit iMac I'm seeing lines like this: 

cc -arch i386 ...

When I understand the appropriate arch would be:

cc -arch x86_64 ...

As a result, when trying to actually use the built extension on a 64-bit platform we get: 

wikitext.bundle: dlopen(wikitext.bundle, 9): no suitable image found.  Did find: (LoadError)
wikitext.bundle: mach-o, but wrong architecture - wikitext.bundle

My initial attempt at building with explicit environment override didn't have any impact on the -arch setting: 

ARCHFLAGS="-arch x86_64" rake make

Passing this in directly to ruby rather than rake, however, works: 

ARCHFLAGS="-arch x86_64" ruby extconf.rb

    Bah, just tried again, and now I am correctly getting a "fat" 32/64-bit extension.

    Will have to mark this as closed.

    Ok, just to provide the complete picture. The wrong ARCHFLAGS were due to an evil override in the Rakefile itself. This has now been fixed and I'll be publishing a new release soon.
