I'll have to check, but I'm pretty sure it uses gcc -m32. Of course, this only works if you have the 32-bit development environment installed. I suspect most people don't, including you. It works for me, but I have the 32-bit dev environment installed so I can build cmucl.
Oh, and indeed, after I apt-get install libc6-dev-i386 it works.
