It's probably possible to get working but long-term it would probably
be easier to use a 32-bit environment where everything "just works" by
default.

I use 32-bit VMs or chroots.  In Fedora/RHEL/CentOS, mock(1) will
create 32-bit-only chroots and in particular it uses setarch(8) to set
a 32-bit execution environment.
