This *is* interesting. Turns out it's calling

  /home/jo/llvm-gcc-wrk/./gcc/as --traditional-format -V -Qy
  -o crtbegin.o /tmp/ccFNX5fN.s

... but the assembler is reporting

  GNU assembler version 2.18 (x86_64-linux-gnu) using BFD version (GNU
  Binutils for Ubuntu) 2.18

anyway, strange...
... ah, turns out /home/jo/llvm-gcc-wrk/./gcc/as is just a shell script
that execs /usr/bin/as, which of course is just the preinstalled 64-bit
as.
I still don't understand why it isn't getting a --32 or -m32 option,
somewhere in the configure-makefile-gcc chain there *should* be
something that's responsible for translating --build/host/target to one
of these options.

Now off to trying Tanya's approach :-)
