This is the changes I made in the Mercury repository

And this is the change I made in the bdwgc repository:

Now the question is on how to make this (auto-)configurable?
Should the scripts parse the --host triple? How should that look like then?
Or should autoconfigure figure out the compiler architecture (which is fairly easy for cl)?

Cheers,

Sebastian
