Pulpino ModelSim issue vsim_auto_compile.so 32bit Ubuntu

Question

Hi I have installed Modelsim 32bit version on Ubuntu 16.04. I have also installed relevant 32bit libs and It works fine. (simulation works fine for other projects)

However I'm getting this issue when I try to run helloworld at pulpino.

make helloworld // 100% fine
make vcompile // 100% fine
make helloworld.vsim // this gives following issue. in vsim

** Fatal: ** Error: (vsim-3828) Could not link 
### 'vsim_auto_compile.so': cmd = '/home/ashan/intelFPGA_pro/17.0/modelsim_ase/gcc-4.7.4-linux/bin/gcc -shared -fPIC -m32 -B/usr/lib32 
-o "/tmp/ashan@e420_dpi_8127/linuxpe_gcc-4.7.4/vsim_auto_compile.so" /home/ashan/git/pulp/pulpino/vsim/work/_dpi/auto_compile@/linuxpe_gcc-4.7.4/*.o '

I think Issue is there in -o "/tmp/ashan@e420_dpi_8127/linuxpe_gcc-4.7.4/vsim_auto_compile.so" since there's no such a file.

can someone please help to overcome this issue.

[UPDATE] This is the output log of vsim

Reading pref.tcl

Main issue is this

# The logfile contains the following messages:
    # /home/ashan/intelFPGA_pro/17.0/modelsim_ase/gcc-4.7.4-linux/bin/../libexec/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.7.4/ld: /usr/lib32/crti.o: unrecognized relocation (0x2b) in section `.init'

here ld(linker) has it's SEARCH_DIR is pointing to /usr/lib32/

and it seems there is a compatibility issue. did anyone overcome this issue ?
