Thanks.  I neglected my 32-bit --enable-targets=all build.

For anyone wondering how you can do a 32-bit build on an x86_64-linux
box, the following does the trick.

CC="gcc -m32" CXX="g++ -m32" \
~/src/binutils-gdb/configure --build=i686-linux --enable-targets=all \
--enable-gold --enable-threads --disable-gdb --disable-gdbserver --disable-sim \
--disable-readline --disable-libdecnumber --disable-libbacktrace
