Linker can't find -lgcc [CMU Malloc Lab] - c++

Question

I'm trying to make the following makefile code
#
# Students' Makefile for the Malloc Lab
#
TEAM = bovik
VERSION = 1
HANDINDIR = /afs/cs.cmu.edu/academic/class/15213-f01/malloclab/handin
CC = gcc
CFLAGS = -Wall -O2 -m32
OBJS = mdriver.o mm.o memlib.o fsecs.o fcyc.o clock.o ftimer.o
mdriver: $(OBJS)
$(CC) $(CFLAGS) -o mdriver $(OBJS)
mdriver.o: mdriver.c fsecs.h fcyc.h clock.h memlib.h config.h mm.h
memlib.o: memlib.c memlib.h
mm.o: mm.c mm.h memlib.h
fsecs.o: fsecs.c fsecs.h config.h
fcyc.o: fcyc.c fcyc.h
ftimer.o: ftimer.c ftimer.h config.h
clock.o: clock.c clock.h
handin:
cp mm.c $(HANDINDIR)/$(TEAM)-$(VERSION)-mm.c
clean:
rm -f *~ *.o mdriver
but get an error message
gcc -Wall -O2 -m32 -o mdriver mdriver.o mm.o memlib.o fsecs.o fcyc.o clock.o ftimer.o

Makefile:14: recipe for target 'mdriver' failed
make: *** [mdriver] Error 1
Things that I have tried include:
Install gcc-multilib, libc6-i386, libc6-dev-i386 lib32gcc1, lib32stdc++6,libc6-dev-i386
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu
In my system, there is no libgcc.so file but libgcc_s.so and libgcc_s.so.1. Can someone help me with it?
