We don't yet support building any 32-bit apps on a 64-bit system.  I have
some changes to GCC I need to finish.  We also need to start installing
the 32-bit headers and .a's.  And this is just for the base system.

If you want to build a 32-bit package under a 64-bit OS, you also need to
have two copies of gtk, gettext, libiconv, etc... installed.  It turns
into a mess.
