Attempting to build a copy of emacs utilizing the 32-bit ABI available on an amd64 system revealed that emacs has hard-coded paths to files such as crt1.o, crtn.o, etc. in its Makefile.ins. This is also a problem when trying to build emacs on freebsd systems.

It would seem to me that an application shouldn't need to link directly against crt*.o. It appears to make the buildsystem quite implementation specific, for example.

Perhaps it would be good enough if emacs's autoconf scripts were able to divine the proper location for these crt files. You can see an example of how gentoo's emacs ebuild fixes this for freebsd people at http://sources.gentoo.org/viewcvs.py/gentoo-x86/app-editors/emacs/emacs-23.1-r2.ebuild?view=markup (see the src_prepare() function and the crtbegin.o and crtend.o stuff.)
