mkoctfile and 64 bit

Dear all,

Thanks to Rishi and Przemek for your suggestions. As it turns out, the 
reason for the problem was a stupid mistake on my part. I had used 
mkoctfile *.cc to compile a number of files in one go, but apparently, 
all the output was written into a single oct-file, leaving the other 
oct-files, (which I had previously built on a 32 bit machine) intact.

Thanks for your help anyway,

Michael.
