On the above link, there are no instructions on how to compile an
AArch32 application with the AArch64 compiler. You need an AArch32 gcc
(e.g. arm-linux-gnu-gcc, not aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc).

Yes, that's to support AArch32 binaries (ARMv8/v7/...).

Just use the right compiler.

-mabi=ilp32 is entirely different from an AArch32 compiler. The above
still generates AArch64 but with the ILP32 ABI (sizeof int/long/pointer
is 32-bit).
