On redhat you have to do it a little different to match the way they
name the gcc programs. Using the above --host, configure will try to
find i386-unknown-linux-gnu-gcc. Instead, try
--host=i386-redhat-linux. Then you should see configure picking
i386-redhat-linux-gcc as the compiler, which will generate 32 bit
binaries.

Alternatively, you can just bodge in -m32 in the CFLAGS to force a 32
bit binary to be built regardless of which compiler it picks.
