PATCH 1/1 x86: Enable 32-bit build using x86_64 multilib toolchain

Until now building the x86 arch boards required 32-bit toolchain. As many x86_64 toolchains come with 32-bit support (multilib) that's a good idea to enable build with such toolchains.

The change required was to specify the usage of 32-bit explicitly to the compiler and the linker (-m32 and -m elf_i386 flags) and locate the right libgcc path.

For example on x86_64 Ubuntu "sudo apt-get install gcc-multilib" is enough and no need to install additional 32-bit toolchain.

This seems reasonable to me.

Applied to u-boot-x86/sandbox, thanks!
