32-bit gcc installation of Asterisk

Hi

I have a 64 bit machine but for some reason, I want to try a 32 bit installation of Asterisk on my machine. Has anyone done this before? I tried various options like ./configure CC=“gcc -m32” CFLAGS="-m32" and the same options in make. The configure seems to work well but the make and make menuselect gives certain errors. Before I sit to debug these, just asking for any off-hand information related to the same.

Thanks for the help
