This is needed to get a working build environment for gcc -m32

The cross-compilation process is a bit more complicated than that. In
particular, the ocamlopt compiler emits temporary assembly files that are
compiled later by the compiler. When switching to gcc instead of gcc -m32, I
get a lot of messages like this:
/tmp/camlasmf9e413.s: Assembler messages:
/tmp/camlasmf9e413.s:431: Warning: value 0x3cb0000000000000 truncated to 0x0

/tmp/camlasmf9e413.s:461: Warning: value 0x7ff0000000000000 truncated to 0x0
Hence, I assume it is not safe to compile it using (64 bits) gcc.
However, I'm open to any suggestion, in particular when tested and if possible
with a patch...
