You presumably have to add something like CROSSOPT="-XR/path/to/your/32bit/root -Fl/directory/containing/your/32bitlibgcc". As Florian mentioned, the compiling the entire tree now depends on certain C libraries, and hence you have to tell the build process where to find these (and the associated startup code files) if they are not in the standard directories.

And does the linker not interpret that parameter correctly? Even if it doesn't, that does not appear to be a problem specific to cross building.
