On x86_64 linux, configure --target-triples=i686-unknown-linux-gnu, results in a build that quickly fails. Most of our build rules are generated from the target triples. Configuring like this will be useful for 32-bit debugging. Maybe we can a) add a --host-triple flag, and b) add the host triple to the target-triples if it isn't (or produce an error).
