I ran into this problem a while back.

You'll need gcc32 (fedora had it available as a package, I'm sure other
distros do too). From there I either set the CC environment variable to
use gcc32 or I made a symbolic link.

Making the link would've been something like:
cd /usr/bin
mv gcc gcc.bak
ln -s gcc32 gcc
After the driver was built I had to remove the link and put things back
the way they were.

Since all this is from memory, try using the environment variable method
first.
