Typically you can run linux32 to munge uname to trick things into
assuming 32bit and then things may work out ok when you build inside
that shell.

You may need to fiddle with CC/CXX to add e.g. -m32 if your compiler
defaults to 64bit, like mine done.

You may need to override PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR as well if e.g. on 64bit
multi-lib fedora where you want to use the 32bit pkg-config data
from /usr/lib/pkgconfig and not /usr/lib64/pkgconfig

Specifically "EPM_FLAGS" can be used to override the arch of the
final .rpm/.deb themselves, but that won't be of any real use if the
contained binaries are really 64bit and/or configured to look for
things, e.g. java and extensions in "x86_64" dirs and so forth.
