Use correct mechanism to determine 32/64 bits
Python setup.py builds certain extensions (dl and imageop) only on 32
bits architecture. However, to test whether the architecture is 32
bits or not, it was looking at the sys.maxint value of the host Python
interpreter... which might run on a 64 bits architecture even though
the target is 32 bits, or which might run on a 32 bits architecture
even though the target is 64 bits.
Therefore, we introduce a is_arch_64_bits() function, which looks at
the pyconfig.h file generated by ./configure for the value of
SIZEOF_LONG to determine if the architecture is 32 or 64 bits.
