Look in the CMakeError.log and CMakeOutput.log files to see why it 
thinks it is 64 bit.  The 64 detect is sort of a hack... It tries to 
build with 32 bit flags, and if that fails it assumes 64.  Most of the 
time when it gets this wrong it means that it can not find the system 
libraries from the SDK.
