gzip fails to cross build from source when building for i386 on amd64.
In this scenario, ./configure does not detect a cross build and thinks
we are doing a native build on i386. When it comes to detecting time_t,
it notices that time_t is Y2038-buggy. It then looks into whether files
can represent larger timestamps and concludes that time_t should be
working. This later logic is guarded by a test for cross compiling and
would be skipped if a cross build were to be detected. On real native
i386, the test with a file fails and prevents the failure. The easy
solution here is to explicitly pass the build architecture thus fixing
the cross compilation detection. Please consider applying the attached
patch.
