Ah, that bit of the output of gcc --target-help contains the assembler
options, though that's not made clear.  Higher up there are the
compiler options, including -m32

$ /usr/bin/gcc --target-help | fgrep 32
  -m32                        Generate 32bit i386 code
  -mcrc32                     Support code generation of crc32 instruction.
  -mpc                        Set 80387 floating-point precision (-mpc32,
  --32/--64               generate 32bit/64bit code
                           generic32, generic64
                           generic32, generic64

To use --32 you'd need to pass it to the assembler with -Wa,--32 but
that's unnecessary if you use -m32
