I encountered the same problem with openssl, and eventually found that
uname was the problem. I installed a wrapper script to pipe the output
of the original through sed (s:\<x86_64\>:i686:g).

Not very clean, and I have to recreate it every time I update coreutils,
but it does the job.

I only ever access my 32-bit partition via chroot, so it doesn't need to be
bootable, which helps to keep it small.

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one doing something like this.
