With x86_64, you can easily
build a 32 bit compiler without doing a canadian cross,
since x86_64 can run 32 bit binaries.  All you have to do
is arrange for 'gcc' to build a 32 bit binary, e.g. by using
the -m32 option.

What OS are you running?   If it's Debian, you'll
have to run the build in their 32 bit chroot.  Otherwise
just adding -m32 to the flags used by the compiler
should do it.
