Consequently, the symlink to /usr/lib32 is not necessary to run 32-bit binaries that use libraries from ia32-libs. As far as I remember, the /usr/lib32 symlink was introduced in ia32-libs because without it 'gcc -m32' did not work correctly because it expects its own 32-bit libraries (e.g. libgcc*) to be in /usr/lib32. This problem with gcc will no occur in my suggested setup because of: > >3.
