problem compiling 32 bit application on 64 bit Linux server

[Ishita Kapadiya]

Hi Ian,

I am using 'make' to compile this plug-in. I have used the Makefile
that generated at the time of installation of web server. So I think
it should work with little change (e.g. adding '-m32' to make it 32
bit). I have used the same Makefile previously and it worked fine for
me with -m32 option. Not sure why it's throwing error. After adding
--verbose in LD Flags it seems like gcc is using
--host=x86_64-redhat-linux option.
I think solution would be as per this link -
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-help/2011-02/msg00182.html

But not sure how to force gcc to use 32 bit libraries?
Any help will be be great..
