regshell.c: compiler uses -m32 as well as -m64

[Rouven WEILER]

The system is Openindiana which is based on Illumos. Frankly said it is the „gcc“ version of Solaris.
Right now I just wanted to update to distro-package. Therefore, on e just needs to change the Makefile in the respective package build system.
For an impression here a link: https://github.com/OpenIndiana/oi-userland/blob/oi/hipster/components/network/samba/Makefile <https://github.com/OpenIndiana/oi-userland/blob/oi/hipster/components/network/samba/Makefile>
Using that build system I actually do not set the -m64 on my own, it it done in the background of the openindiana Makefiles. 
If samba does set that also I cannot tell as I am not very familiar with waf.

Version 4.11.4 of samba worked very well in that build environment, version 4.11.5 throws a "READELF32 error" when linking "regshell.15.o“
regshell has that compiler line I already sent containing a "-m64“ as well as a "-m32“ which does not seem correct and causing the linker error.
So my main idea was to find out why there is this "-m32“ and probably kick it out.

Referring to ncurses: I do not see how this would harm the build. Could you give me some more background.

Thanks.
