Can you explain what "then" is? If you set libdir so that all files go
into /usr/lib64, why do want *then* that those library files are built
for 32bits? Shouldn't they be built for 64bits if they go to /usr/lib64?

In any case, you usually select the target architecture by either
selecting the right compiler, or the right compiler flags. Just set
CC to a 32-bit-compiler, and Python should be built as 32-bit binaries.
