For that I need to build a 32 bit gcc compiler on the x86_64 machine
(cross compiler).
There are various tools for buildings such a cross compiler. One is
Dan Kegel tool: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://kegel.com/crosstool/">http://kegel.com/crosstool/</a>
Another tool is Cross-Compiled Linux From Scratch:

I want to add that "make ARCH=i686" (on the 64 bit machine) gave me errors
(and also trying to passing various gcc 32 bit arch flags ).
It seems to me that both these tools are more complicated then needed.

That's because you don't appreciate the complexity of the task :-)<br>
<br>
But you are right, there is a better way to build cross compilers -
crosstool-ng (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://ymorin.is-a-geek.org/dokuwiki/projects/crosstool">http://ymorin.is-a-geek.org/dokuwiki/projects/crosstool</a>)<br>
<br>
Using it building a cross compiler is simple as:<br>
<br>
<pre class="code">hg clone <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://ymorin.is-a-geek.org/hg/">http://ymorin.is-a-geek.org/hg/</a><span
class="search_hit">crosstool-ng
</span>./configure
make
make install
cd /your/development/directory
ct-ng help
ct-ng menuconfig
ct-ng build
