Compiles, but the output is still x86_64:
$ file src/libopenal.so.0.0.8
src/libopenal.so.0.0.8: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, AMD x86-64, version 1 
(SYSV), not stripped

Unfortunately, I don't have a i386-linux-gcc.  Digging around, there is a
/usr/bin/i386-redhat-linux-gcc33, but setting CC to that causes configure to
fail with: 

/tmp/ccqHJnHw.s: Assembler messages: 
/tmp/ccqHJnHw.s:17: Error: suffix or operands invalid for `push'

errors when it tries to build the test program.  A 'yum provides' search for 
linux-gcc doesn't find any other versions for FC3.

Grr.  Seriously stuck here.  

Thanks,
Brian
