This may be related to Bug#712044, and may reflect my ignorance with the issue. I am trying to have a C/C++ development system that can compile both 32 and 64-bit binaries based purely on multiarch, without the need for packages like g++-4.8-multilib or libc6-i386 etc. which duplicate the contents of the i386 architecture packages. On an amd64 system, with g++-4.8 this almost work, in fact all I had to do is to install the needed *-dev:i386 packages and create a symlink:
# ls -al /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.8/32 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24 Jul 8 18:54 /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.8/32 -> ../../i486-linux-gnu/4.8 After this, g++ -m32 seem to work. I wonder if there was some way to make this setup more official. I assume this would also work for older gcc versions, however it is currently blocked by a dependency of libstdc++6-4.7-dev:i386 on g++-4.7:i386 which of course is not co-installable with g++-4.7:amd64. I don't really know why this dependency is needed, maybe it's really a bug that should be opened against libstdc++6-4.7-dev?
