gcc compile error

Question

I built a cross compiler on Ubuntu 14.04 32 bit for MIPS platform before. but now I can't compile ordinary C programs with GCC. i removed and reinstalled everything but every time i get this error. as:

unrecognized option '--32' 

With gcc --version I get this:

 GNU assembler 2.13.2 Copyright 2002 Free Software Foundation, Inc. This program is free software; you may redistribute it under the terms of the GNU General Public License. This program has absolutely no warranty. This assembler was configured for a target of `mips-dec-ultrix42'. 

i dont know what to do!

Answer 1

First find the compiler:

find ${PATH//:/} -name 'gcc*'

create a symlink:

cd /usr/bin/
ls -l | grep gcc
ln -sf gcc-4.xx gcc

Now check version again:

gcc --version
