I'm running FreeBSD 5.3-Release AMD64 version.  When I try to compile my
source that im writing for 32 bit compatibility I receive errors.

        gcc -m32 <source.c>

ERROR: '/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/libgcc.a when
searching for -lgcc /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgcc'


Ive read that 5.3 has problems with 32 bit compatibility and that 5.4
should resolve this.  Does anyone know of a workaround on this?
