riscv-gcc Fails to build [GCC_NO_EXECUTABLES]

I want to use riscv-gcc to implement an Ibex (RISCV core) example on an Arty-A7 but I haven't been able to build it properly. It's been failing after the 'make' phase. It seems to have something to do with zlib however I'm not so sure since this is the first time I'm building anything from source. I got the source from https://github.com/riscv/riscv-gcc

I've configure it executed make as

../riscv-gcc/configure --enable-multilib
make

it then exits with the following error

checking whether the gcc  -m32 linker (ld -m elf_x86_64 -m elf_i386) supports shared libraries... yes
checking whether -lc should be explicitly linked in... no
checking dynamic linker characteristics... configure: error: Link tests are not allowed after GCC_NO_EXECUTABLES.
make[2]: *** [configure-stage1-zlib] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/alfred/Desktop/Work/riscv_gcc_install'
make[1]: *** [stage1-bubble] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/alfred/Desktop/Work/riscv_gcc_install'
make: *** [all] Error 2

I've also tried running make (same configuration) with

make all-gcc

but it produces this error instead

checking if gcc  -m32 supports -fno-rtti -fno-exceptions... no
checking for gcc  -m32 option to produce PIC... -fPIC -DPIC
checking if gcc  -m32 PIC flag -fPIC -DPIC works... yes
checking if gcc  -m32 static flag -static works... no
checking if gcc  -m32 supports -c -o file.o... yes
checking if gcc  -m32 supports -c -o file.o... (cached) yes

checking dynamic linker characteristics... configure: error: Link tests are not allowed after GCC_NO_EXECUTABLES.
make: *** [configure-zlib] Error 1

I'm not sure what to do so far besides check prerequisite libraries as suggested by https://gcc.gnu.org/install/prerequisites.html . Can Anyone help me out?
