Here the native (host) gcc is needed and used.

But obviously your native gcc does not create native code. I can only
speculate and guess that your PATH must be set wrong, so that a cross
gcc is picked up instead.

This has nothing to do with GCC versions, but with the local stup  of
the PATH on your system. "gcc" should never pick up a cross compiler.
