But Ralf gave me direction and helped me here.
# rpm -qf /usr/include/gnu/stubs-32.h
glibc-devel-2.8-3.i386
The solution was to install the .i386 packages for what you need. I just did a yum list nameofpackage* and I have x86_64 bit machine as well, I got the i386 packages and was good to go. You may need to do the same.
As for the names of the packages, I do not know which ones specifically you need.

Install the i386 devel packages and this should work:).
