You can leverage x86-64's biarch support by building with -m32
(resulting in a 32-bit binary).

IIRC the 32-bitness assumption is coded into the pre-compiled C code
that's used for the self-hosted bootstrap of prescheme -- Taylor
Campbell had a patch to the prescheme and (derived from that) the
pre-compiled C version, and IIRC I successfully applied it and built a
native x86-64 scsh.  I don't remember where the patch is, though --
ask him.
