Just to summarize my original and somewhat lengthy reply: I have come to the
assumption that the SMP availability somewhow makes the build assume a 64bit
target, which in turn makes some intermediately created bootstrap executables
(such as cc1) expect a 64bit target by default, which results in the make
failing due to the ommission of the then required "-m32" switch. Nonetheless,
specifying this switch manually (directly in the Makefile), does only solve
part of the problem, as other targets would still fail later on.
