The legacy build does not support building 32-bit on a 64-bit host on 
Linux. As OSX was primarily copied from linux I believe it will have the 
same problems.

The new build does support building 32-bit on 64-bit 
(--with-data-model=32 if I recall correctly). I assume this works for 
OSX but I have never done such a build.
