How to compile libxml2 and libcurl to 32-bit under 64-bit machine?

I download the packages libxml2-2.9.1.tar.gz and curl-7.31.0.tar.gz from thw web. If I compile these two under 32-bit machine, it'll be ok. But formal environment is 64-bit machine, after I compiled thest two, libxml2 and libcurl became 64-bit. When I ran the application program, it reported an error. Now, how can I compile these two packages into 32-bit, under a 64-bit machine? I found on the 64-bit machine, there is an old package libxml2.so.2.6.26 in /usr/local/lib, it is 64-bit file; but in /usr/lib, there also has a file libxml2.so.2.6.16, it is 32-bit. It really confuses me a lot.

I just hope the application program can run ok, Someone help. Thanks a lot.

You need to set an environment variable so that configure sees it. The proper command is like H2CO3 said:

CFLAGS='-m32' ./configure

NOT like this

CFLAGS='-m32'
./configure

These are not the same command, the latter sets up a variable in the shell; no command will see the value of CFLAGS, whereas the former sets the CFLAGS in an environment that will be passed to the execve for running the ./configure command.
