Other than IA64, with an AMD64 system you can install a 32bit OS with a 32 bit kernel and build for a 32 bit target that way. A lot of people with 64 bit systems which can also run 32bit code will do that if they want a 32 bit system. The other way is to use the uname hack and fake the system into being a 32bit by how uname detects the machine when running a 64bit kernel. You could use 486,586, or 686. Review http://clfs.org/view/svn/x86/chroot/before-chroot.html If anything in CLFS is attractive for you, by all means use it, but you don't need to strictly use it for building 32bit with a 64bit machine and a 64bit or 32bit OS. LFS can work just fine.
