Hey mark!

I got brave and it worked.  :-)

Used grub-2.02~beta2 source with both CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS unset in the build
script.  The configure I used is;

   ./configure --prefix=/usr --sbindir=/sbin --sysconfdir=/etc --disable-werror

which did indeed discover gcc's -m32 switch and built a i386-pc target.  Here
is what ldd shows about /sbin/grub-install;

 linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007fff73535000)
 liblzma.so.5 => /lib/liblzma.so.5 (0x00007fc933ce8000)
 libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x00007fc933979000)
 libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x00007fc93375e000)
 /lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007fc933f08000)

Those are definetly 64-bit libs.

Life is good,
Maurice
