Actually if you see my first post, the only thing I'd changed was
replaced "LDFLAGS="-m32"" with the "LD" variable and I had also tried
adding that back in alongside CFLAGS and LD but to no avail.
I compiled the module by hand - all that required was the linking
command that compiled the two files for the contrib/spi module to have
the flag "-m32" as defined in the configure line.

Like I said, I had already tried LDFLAGS (and, yes, CFLAGS too) which
threw up the problem with the SUBSYS.o file.

I'm due to migrate onto 8.4 shortly so we'll see how things go then.
