This can also be accomplished, I discovered a couple of weeks ago, by
using a wrapper script to give gcc the -m32, and then running the heap
builds under setarch(8).

The FFI appears to work thereafter, without further personality(2)ing:

  &H&e&l&l&o&,& &W&o&r&l&d&!&
  56

It is certainly better to have Larceny do the right thing to begin with,
of course, but I thought I'd mention this anyway.
