You can install Fedora's 32-bit cross-compilation packages or you can
indeed disable libtest32.so altogether. libtest32.so is used to test
32-bit Lisps on 64-bit systems. E.g., CMUCL does not have a 64-bit
port.

We could probably detect this situation (32-bit Lisp running on a
64-bit system) and only compile libtest32.so then.
