If you are running CURRENT or RELENG_5, you can put "WITH_LIB32=yes"
in /etc/make.conf and you will get 32 bit libraries with 'make world'.
If you are running 5.3-RELEASE (any build for the last few months) you
can "cd /usr/src; sh tools/lib32/build.sh" and it should make the base
32 bit libraries for you.
