I tried to build with host,build = amd64-pc-linux-gnu and
target=i686-pc-linux-gnu. Binutils compile successfully for
i686-pc-linux-gnu target , but when native compiler tries to invoke
"i686-pc-linux-gn-as" which by default emits 32 bit code i see the
following errors.

exporting CFLAGS='-m64' I could go past this point. It bails out in
the next stage of compilation when the target compiler is used with
-m64 option with the error "cc1plus: sorry, unimplemented: 64-bit mode
not compiled in"
