Can't compile 32-bit binaries with gcc

I cannot compile 32-bit binaries with gcc.  I get the following errors:

$ gcc -m32 test.c  
/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/8.4.0/libgcc.a when searching for -lgcc
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgcc
/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/8.4.0/libgcc_s.so.1 when searching for libgcc_s.so.1
/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/8.4.0/libgcc.a when searching for -lgcc
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgcc
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

I know I used to be able to do this, but recently it stopped working.  The following packages are installed:

lib32-gcc-libs 9.3.0-1
lib32-libltdl 2.4.6+42+gb88cebd5-1
lib32-glib2 2.64.1-1y
lib32-fakeroot 1.24-1

Obviously there are others installed but these are the ones that I've read need to be installed when researching this problem.

Thanks in advance

Re: Can't compile 32-bit binaries with gcc

Why is it trying to load/find libraries for a 8.4 version of gcc?

type -a gcc
pacman -Qs gcc
printenv

Well, now I feel dumb.  I worked with Nvidia CUDA a long time ago and during some changes to my ~.profile config, I must have accidentally put the cuda/bin folder before /usr/bin and /bin, so it was using the wrong gcc.  Removing that fixed the problem, thanks!
