This will prevent building Luajit for ARM, while running Buildroot on
an ARM platform. It's fairly unlikely, but still. "gcc -m32" will only
work on x86, or x86-64 with the 32 bits development files installed.
While in fact Luajit can build in situation where the bitness of the
target and the bitness of the arch match.

For example, Peter has one PowerPC build server: a "gcc -m32" test
would fail on it, even though it would be perfectly capable of building
the ARM 32 bits, PowerPC or x86 Luajit.
