cc can build binaries just fine if you also use the -B option:

        % cc -m32 -B/usr/lib32 ...

I know it does because I've used it on my laptop a while ago, running
FreeBSD/amd64.  It's dead now so I can verify this works in all cases,
but it seemed to solve this for me a couple of months ago.
