Build i686?

[pgmer6809]

Hi, been following parrot for awhile, since OSCON 2005 in fact.
Finally might have some cycles to contribute; maybe docs, maybe tests.

Getting feet wet, got parrot via svn. did Configure and make and make
test.
running parrot shows that it was built for i386.

FYI I am running Ubuntu 7.1 (Gutsy) 32bit version on an Athlone64
chip.
Here is the output of the tests if you are interested.

ll tests successful, 10 tests and 667 subtests skipped.
Files=391, Tests=11720, 186 wallclock secs (118.41 cusr + 25.00 csys =
143.41 CPU)

greg at shadow:~/parrot$ gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 4.1.3 20070929 (prerelease) (Ubuntu 4.1.2-16ubuntu2)

greg at shadow:~/parrot$ ./parrot --version
This is Parrot version 0.9.0-devel built for i386-linux.


A scan of the myconfig file shows that all of the 'arch' symbols are
in fact defined as 386.
Is there a way I can build parrot for i686 architecture?
my uname -m shows i686, and I have libc6-i686 installed.

Regards,
Greg
