I may be missing something huge, but, it seems to me, that my little patch is 
sufficient to point cc to the right direction. With it I can create 32-bit 
executables. Thus created lame, for example (from the audio/lame port) works 
and happily converts mp3 files (using assembler-optimized routines available 
only for 32-bit i386).

Maybe, there was more to it, when the amd64/76224 was closed, but there is so 
little now... It may still not work for something trickier, but, I think, I 
offer an improvement...
