Are you sure it's a 32-bit chip, pretty much all recent dual-core chips wether Intel or AMD are 64-bit, and judging from what you list above it tells me it is a 64-bit chip, and it also sounds as if Debian is running a 64-bit kernel which is why your getting the x86_64-unknown stuff. I don't know if it's possible to put a 32-bit kernel in there, I've never used debian (don't know what wether the userland tools are 64-bit or 32-bit), I've been using ubuntu, as the base lately until I can get my build scripts back in order.
