How2 Solve compiling gcc -m32 cannot find crt1.o: No such file or directory

Im learning asm stuff so in the future i mean the future i can eventually get at the security field to knowing about xploits so i have a amd64 machine but many examples comes in 32bits asm programs so in my ubuntu based machine MINT i have to compile with 32bits option but i was not sure if i can do this so the google-fu save and check that i need to put the option -m32 on gcc so i try it out

$ gcc -m32 -o example example1.c
but i get:
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find crt1.o: No such file or directory
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find crti.o: No such file or directory
/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.6/libgcc.a when searching for -lgcc
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgcc
/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.6/libgcc_s.so when searching for -lgcc_s

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find crtn.o: No such file or directory
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

... so google-fu again  and find that i have to actually install multilib for gcc so i check out the version of my gcc and use the GUI to manage the packet but actually in the command will be
$ sudo apt-get install gcc-4.6-multilib
after this
$ gcc -m32 -o example example1.c

and then OK
$ objdump -m intel -d example1
