1. do not build in source directory, read http://gcc.gnu.org/install/configure.html
2. "make clean" doesn't do what you want, you need "make distclean" or rm -r objdir (see above)

This is why --disable-multilib option didn't work for you as it should.

Or if you want to compile with multilibs, install ia32-libs-dev package. You may also
want to compile only c and c++ language frontends, see --enable-languages configure option.
