Yes, includes for native programs will may cause trouble --
but you can't use -nostdinc (as that would take away that
feature from a user), which is why this needs to be in the
gcc specs.

I don't have a script as I just copied include directories
from a i386 system.  But a script would be better.  This
script was an initial stab at proper -m32 support and needs
more work.  I will be happy to work with you or anyone else
to make this happen.
