If you're running debian, there's a prebuilt cross compiler available
from the Gelato Debian repository

See http://www.gelato.unsw.edu.au/IA64wiki/GelatoDebianRepository

or just add this to /etc/apt/sources.list :

   deb http://gelato.unsw.edu.au/debian unstable/$(ARCH)/
   deb http://gelato.unsw.edu.au/debian unstable/all/
   deb-src http://gelato.unsw.edu.au/debian/ unstable/source/

and install gcc-i386-linux and binutils-i386-linux

You'll also need to install the ia32-libs package, and
toolchain-source, then do 
  tpkg-install-libc i386-linux
to get the development libraries and headers.

Disclaimer:  I haven't actually done all this.

Another approach would be to install an IA32 native toolchain under
/emul/ia32-linux/ 

Both dpkg and rpm allow you to specify a root directory; just specify
/emul/ia32-linux
