My music player didn't require to be compiled under 32-bit.  I did
have to install a few libraries to my own home directory to get it to
work (the program's configure script allowed me to set the location
for each individual library and headers).  It was quite a bit of work,
and I only managed to get the ncurses UI to work.  The music player
(Zinf, for the record) is a very simple piece of software.

./configure --help give this:
  --enable-win64          build a Win64 emulator on AMD64 (won't run
Win32 binaries)

Which should hopefully get around the lack of 32-bit libraries, at the
price only being able to run 64-bit windows software.

You could potentially install the glibc-devel-i386 package to your
home directory.  However, this probably isn't a fairly simple case of
setting the include path.

Another option is to manually extract the RPM [3].
