That was it: configuring with

  % ./configure CFLAGS=3D-arch\ i386 LDFLAGS=3D-arch\ i386

worked fine.  In fact, it turns out that CFLAGS=3D-m32 is enough, and I =
think targets the problem more precisely.

I'm the maintainer for the macports.org package file for scsh (not a big =
deal -- I made a simple port file a few years ago and it hasn't broken =
so far), so I'll submit a patch to that.

I've uploaded a patch to configure.in of scsh 0.6.7, which tests whether =
it needs to add CFLAGS options to force the compiler to build 32-bit =
object files.  At present, it only tests '' and '-m32' (for gcc); other =
compilers' flags should be easy to add here.

Thanks for the help.
