[Open-scap] 32-bit arch check

[Peter Vrabec]

Hi Janzen,

I'm sorry for late reply.

The intension  was to run  32bit audit rules tests on 64bit platforms too. 
Basically, I was told that you need to configure both "arch=b32" and "arch=b64" 
audit rules on 64bit system.

I admit it's not clear from the content - comment tags was not adjusted 
anywhere. :(

Peter.
