Forcing 32-bit architecture via configure

c++, configure, linux

Solution

Try to add `-m32` to the `CFLAGS`.

Problem

What is the best way to force a configure script to build a 32-bit code? I have a 64-bit machine, and trying to build a 32-bit code. Tried setting the --build type with several options, but this just doesn't work. Thanks!
