Good, then it boils down to convincing the 'uname' to report the machine
as 32bit.  64bit distributions have 'linux32' binary that does that; see
http://packages.debian.org/unstable/utils/linux32  You can start a new
shell using e.g.

linux32 $SHELL

Then try uname -a in the new shell; it should report i386, and it should
be OK for the OOo configure and compilation.

You wrote that you have 32bit distribution, so you'll probably have to
install linux32 from 64bit Debian.  I'm not a Debian user so I am unable
to help you with it.

Jan
