Incompatible GCC objects?

I am currently running Arch x86_64 with the latest version of gcc from the core repository.  I seem to have come across a peculiar error while compiling with the -m32 and -march=i386 flags:

/usr/bin/ld: i386:x86-64 architecture of input file `/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/4.5.1/crtbeginS.o' is incompatible with i386 output
/usr/bin/ld: i386:x86-64 architecture of input file `/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/4.5.1/crtendS.o' is incompatible with i386 output

I'm using g++ to compile, if that makes a difference over gcc, but I doubt that it does.

I've googled these objects and they seem to be used for constructors/destructors, but is there any way that I can fix this without having to install a different version of the GCC?  Am I missing a certain package?

Re: Incompatible GCC objects?

The gcc in Arch is not multi-architecture so -m32 does not work.

Re: Incompatible GCC objects?

So, in other words, I can't do it without gcc-multilib.  Which, I was trying to avoid, because the package doesn't seem to be updated in accordance with the rest of the repositories.
