Assembly (GNU Assembler) - Unexpected token in operand at "movl $0, %eax"

I would like to compile/assemble an assembly (.s) file that returns 0. To compile it, I am using gcc -m32 -nostdlib file.s -o out.

But I get the following errors:

file.s:3:14: error: unexpected token in operand
    movl $0, %eax
             ^
file.s:4:5: error: invalid instruction
    ret
    ^

When I run gcc -m32 -v, it says the target is "arm-apple-darwin21.1.0", if that could help answering my question.

Here is my assembly:

file.s

 .globl main
main:
    movl   $0, %eax
    ret

Any ideas on how I could solve this? Thank you and have a nice day.

assembly gcc

I fixed it, thanks to everyone who came by this question. As Jester said in the comment section, it was just my assembly code not being compatible with an ARM system.
