For what it's worth, I am using a virtual machine, in which I installed 32 bit Linux, for testing 32 bit builds. Our release builds are done in VM's as well. > if not then, how do I get shell script to setup an x86 environment?

If you have an x86_64 Linux system (either bare metal or virtual, should make no difference) you should be able to build for 32 bit by forcing parameter "-m32" to the compiler. It should be enough to instruct the configure script to use proper CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS: $ CFLAGS="-m32" CXXFLAGS="-m32" ./configure [other parameters] I cannot confirm this will work, because the build system is very complex, but that is how I would do for other software projects. I hope this helps.
