Fedora ships just a handful of host architectures, out of the many that GCC, binutils, etc support, so this surely isn't a new / unique problem to i386 ? Fedora does ship gcc/bintuils cross-compiler builds for all the other target arches already, so presumably i386 could join that collection ? Would that be sufficient for the kernel / firmware -m32 needs ?
