While using GCC to generate a 32 bits application we get the error "cannot find -lstdc++" or "cannot find -lstdc++_nonshared"

While using GCC to generate a 32 bits application we get the error "cannot find -lstdc++" or "cannot find -lstdc++_nonshared"
We would like to generate 32 bit code with the compiler g++-4.4.x. Unfortunately, it does not seem to work, the following program fails at link time with the error:
$ g++44 -m32 m32.cpp
/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux6E/4.4.0/libstdc++_nonshared.a when searching for -lstdc++_nonshared
/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux6E/4.4.0/libstdc++_nonshared.a when searching for -lstdc++_nonshared
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lstdc++_nonshared
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
Or
$ g++ -m32 tmp.cpp
