The answers on this list all seemed clear to me. It's really a FAQ
if you look at the archives there are probably hundreds of mails
about it, all with the same information.

It's also in the gcc documentation.

You seem to expect some complicated procedure but there really isn't any.
I guess people don't take a feature seriously if it's too easy to use :|

Compile with -m32.

If the Makefile checks uname output you can also run it under linux32
to fake "i686"
