FYI, I've successfully built kernel-3.10.0-123.6.3.el7.i686.rpm (and
friends), using kernel-3.10.0-i686.config from 3.10.0-121.el7.  I had
to unset CONFIG_PARAVIRT to work around this error:

kernel/sched/cputime.c: In function 'steal_account_process_tick':
kernel/sched/cputime.c:273:3: error: implicit declaration of function
'jiffies_to_nsecs' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
   this_rq()->prev_steal_time += cputime_to_nsecs(steal_ct);
   ^

With a bit of SPEC file surgery, I got kernel-tools and
kernel-tools-libs to build.  IIRC, this means that every package in the
minimal install has at least some sort of 32-bit package.
