I understand, but providing 32 bit compilers to 64 bit machines seems
a little silly. At least in the setups I have run we had different NFS
exports for 32 and 64 bit Linux boxen.

SCons is at fault: From local/lib/scons-0.97/SCons/Platform/posix.py
if not env.has_key('ENV'):
env['ENV'] = {}
env['ENV']['PATH'] = '/usr/local/bin:/opt/bin:/bin:/usr/bin'

So as a solution I would suggest to import ENV into the PolyBoRi SCons
build system. Feel free to submit a patch for it.

I am also attaching the same into to #1553.
