Hello!

Without this patch, the configure-script fails to recognize a FreeBSD/amd64 system as a "X86_64_TRUE" one. The build subsequently fails, because an attempt is made to compile sse3_ChirpData_ak, which contains some SSE3-only instructions, which Opterons don't have...

The patch is really simple:

Please, apply ASAP. Thanks!
