Bug Description
On a 64bit system, using 64bit gcc/g++, it is not possible to cross compile C++ programs using -m32.
It is possible to cross compile C programs using -m32.
Cause: libstdc++-dev:i386 is not installable.
The reason is it not installable, is because libstdc++-dev:i386 depends on gcc:i386 and gcc:i386 is not installable.
A fix would be to change the dependancies of libstdc++-dev:i386 to not depend on gcc:i386
I know of no reason why a lib should depend on gcc?
