Yes, WRT Springdale, I have built the i686 kernel for 7.0 too and that
works .. it is the 7.1 kernel that is not building i686.  If they get
that working (or if anyone else does) then I will grab their configs and
build it.

Since Red Hat does not build the i686 kernel for RHEL 7 (just kernel
headers for build requirements), they have not tested that a full kernel
builds, nor do they provide i686 config files.  But Red Hat does
backport changes into their kernels and therefore standard 3.10.x kernel
config files do not work with the Red Hat backported kernels.

If someone out there is smart enough to build the 7.1 kernel for i686 ..
really, just smart enough to create good config files that will build ..
that will help.

I plan to do that after 7.1 64 bit is released and all the updates after
7.1 happen, but if someone can do it earlier, it will speed getting a
7.1 32 bit after the 64 bit is done.
