Having trouble building on a 64 bit machine

[Chris Nicholls]

Thanks, That works ok now.

However, the stuff I'd been playing with was mainly inside the code
generator and doesn't seem to work well with the 64 version.

Is there a way I can build the 32 bit version on my machine?
I've tried playing with variations on
./configure   --host=x86_64-unknown-linux --target=i386-unknown-linux
--build=i386-unknown-linux
But I get told  "cannot run test program while cross compiling".

Sorry, I feel like this is a bit of a stupid question...
