Make sure to install 'libc6-dev-i386' as well as 'libc6-i386', and of course the 32-bit gcc if you don't have it. So basically install all the necessary 32-bit toolchain to compile programs ... gcc, glib, glibc, etc.
I assume what do you mean is do a make clean after ./configure and make (even the make failed). Is that correct? After make clean and once again make, the problem remains the same. By the way, when doing make, I saw this line seems important:
Code:
/usr/bin/ld: i386:x86-64 architecture of input file `mkbuiltins.o' is incompatible with i386 output
Just start over, delete the directory that was made and extract the source again from the archive you downloaded. It seems to me that `mkbuiltins.o' is or was compiled as 64-bit and now the linker won't accept it in a 32-bit executable. So you need to get rid of `mkbuiltins.o' it should be in ./builtins, but 'make clean' should technically get rid of it.

So you need to get rid of `mkbuiltins.o' it should be in ./builtins, but 'make clean' should technically get rid of it.
Actually, I always start over by deleting the directory and extract the folder over and over. Before I started (before configure) there are no mkbuiltins.o in builtins directory. In fact, there are no .o in the Project's directory. (Honestly, I don't know 'make clean' before.)

Maybe it'll somehow helpful?
I think you have to run "linux32 make". That was my experience when running a 64-bit kernel on a Slackware 32-bit system. Essentially, linux32 must precede any command which requires identification of the system.
