You don't need to do anything special to develop 32 bit software in unix, just build them, they will be 32 bit. I definately recommend using gcc as your compiler. It produces fast and tight code, besides do you know of any other c/c++/obj-c compilers for FreeBSD? Gcc, emacs and rcs make a powerful development suite. Combine it with a good X-windows implementation (like the X-inside server plus CDE) and you will have a damn good coding station (better then any WinNT commercial development suite).
