Compiling i386 code with a non-i386 hosted compiler is not supported.  
It has nothing to do with 32 vs 64 bit (an x86_64 hosted compiler can  
perfectly create sparc32 or ppc32 code), but with the extended  
floating point type which we do not support on all non-i386 platformas  
(although I believe it actually is supported on linux/x86_64 unlike on  
win64/x86_64, so maybe the check could be refined).
