I use Arch x86_64 - so far without a problem. But I've found recently

Seems like the build needs the /usr/include/gnu/stubs-32.h file, which
isn't installed on my Arch64 system. (glibc installs stubs-64.h instead.)
But according to this thread, it appears that many distros work around
this by having a 32-bit glibc package for this purpose:

Does Arch have such a thing? Didn't look like it from surfing the
packages in the repos (and AUR), but thought I'd ask anyway.
If not, I'm not opposed to writing a new packages for this, but I'm not
sure quite how to build a 32-bit glibc package that doesn't conflict
with the 64-bit one.
Anyone have any advice here?
Thanks,

Use a 32 bit chroot for 32 bit stuff. Arch doesn't (and hopefully will never
ever) support multilib.
