Its not emulation... just tells the OS to advertise itself as i686 instead of x86_64. and its not specifically a dev tool
anyone know why ppc64 doesnt do the samething ? if you run a 32bit userspace system with 64bit kernel, uname advertizes 'powerpc64' instead of 'powerpc' ...

Well with FEATURES="autoconfig", no arches should really need this anymore I would think. <arch>32 was mostly used just to trick the configure script into using something it knows.
