I'd be interested in the error in config.log
Anyhow, you can override this easily by prepeding your build commands
with the sparc32 command. E.g.
# sparc32 ./configure
# sparc32 make
I've also added a "permanent" override that will be coming in the next,
for those that wish to do a system-wide override. You can just touch
/etc/disable_64_gcc, and all the defaults will be -m32.
