Yes, I have been able to confirm that's what's happening behind the
scene. The switch would be --32, however after that, ld will try to link
the 64-bit versions of libc and the C runtime.

I was able to trigger the problem during ./configure, by using llvm-gcc.
With configure, it was fixable for the whole toolchain by saying
--target=i686, so there is hope.

Unfortunately, make check doesn't seem to use the setting
from ./configure; this is what I see in site.exp, regardless of any CC=
or CFLAGS= settings on make check:
  set gccpath "gcc"
  set gxxpath "g++"

Should I edit site.exp to fix that, or is there a better way?
