You didn't post the command line of the last failed command but I assume
that you are about to link the xlient of the guest additions which requires
the 32-bit version of libXext. Please install the package

  xorg-x11-libXext-devel-32bit

and probably the missing other 32-bit packages.

Kind regards,

Frank
