First you might check if bart wrapper is actually called when compiling 
your kernel :
# readlink -f $(which -p gcc)
/usr/bin/gcc.bart

Then, supposing you made several attempts to configure and compile your 
kernel, therefore leading to broken dependencies, you might want to 
clean your kernel tree :
# ARCH="x86_64" make HOSTCC="gcc -m32" dep
# ARCH="x86_64" make HOSTCC="gcc -m32" clean
