It actually doesn't have the 32 bit.  In fact, configure errors out 
because it cannot find the 32 bit libc, which doesn't exist on an LFS 
64-bit system that was compiled purely for 64 bit.  So the configure 
script cannot handle those flags.

What I have resorted to is attempting to compile it on a fedora core 8 
platform.  Unfortunately, this isn't creating static libraries - it 
still requires some 32-bit shared objects, which means I cannot run it 
on the 64 bit to install it there.

Am I going to have to run another distribution's rescue prompt and 
manually install it from there?
