Indeed, probably worth documenting the procedure somewhere. I believe
what you need is to configure with
* CC='gcc -m32' 'CXX='g++ -m32'
* --enable-targets=all
* --build=i686-pc-linux-gnu --host=i686-pc-linux-gnu --target=i686-pc-linux-gnu
so configure doesn't conclude it's a cross
* using 32-bit gas and gld helps, but isn't required, I believe (it gets
a few assembler configure tests wrong where the 32-bit and 64-bit
results differ)
However, it's easier than having to have a separate machine with a
32-bit kernel around (if such beasts still exist)...
