Description

Currently we have -Dcompile.native and -Dcompile.c++ build flags. In addition, builds for pipes and libhadoop use autoconf tools, but libhdfs does not, nor does 64bit libhdfs compile work.

All these builds should use autoconf tools, support 64bit compilation, and should occur when a single flag is present (-Dcompile.c++ seems like the better choice).

Issue Links

• blocks: HDFS-431 port fuse-dfs existing autoconf to hadoop project's autoconf infrastructure
• incorporates: HADOOP-3344 libhdfs: always builds 32bit, even when x86_64 Java used
• is related to: HADOOP-4385 Build fails for Mac OSX
