To match linux64 it's called linux32.

crosstool-ng is set to build gcc targetting -march=i686 (Pentium Pro), as there
is little to no sense to support anything lower than that.

I can agree there is no sense to support 32-bit x86 systems on Linux, where barely any distributions support it, but I made it for my own game development (and binary compatibility) purposes and hope it might be useful for somebody else too.

This doesn't appear to work.
It's failing to build openssl for me, and probably a bunch of later scripts will fail too.

Ah, right, I'm building myself a very minimalistic ffmpeg that only do software decoding and don't pull all these dependencies. I will try to look into that later.
