Autoconf does not generate architecture flags like -m32.  It likely 
comes from newlib's configure script.  The only flags that Autoconf 
might typically produce are '-g -O2' and '-std=gnu99'.

Talk to the newlib developers or search the provided configure.ac 
script to find where -m32 is being inserted, and re-generate the 
configure script.
