Looks like you don't have the right tools installed. You might succeed
in building for darwin-x86_64 by the looks of what is installed. You'll
probably have to tweak file in configure/os if you want to do this.
Alternatively, fully install the 32-bit toolchain. I assume that you are
trying to build a 32-bit version?

(Note: I don't know the darwin toolset, so I'm guessing on some of this)
