New issue 1030 by Khabok: graceless building on fedora 14 64-bit, needs documentation
http://code.google.com/p/v8/issues/detail?id=1030

Building V8 requires stubs-32.h which must be manually added on a 64-bit environ by installing the "wrong" package. Not the end of the world, but the issue is difficult to look up because most hits related to it are very old and refer to packages that are no longer current or available.

On Fedora 14, you need glibc-devel.i686 whereas every support response I could find refers to the i386 package which no longer appears in yum's normal repos. Most users (such as myself) have only ever used the environ-correct glibc-devel package, such that you have to look up the current x86 package name with very little to go on.

I suggest this be mentioned in the build instructions. As it stands, this is an undocumented dependency.
