Greetings, in your file 1-... .md you write about missing libraries when compiling x86 Rust binaries on x86-64, quote:
you'll need to install the libc-dev:i386 package on Debian/Ubuntu to fix that error.
At least on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, the package which contains the 32-bit versions of required libraries is correctly called libc6-dev-i386, not libc-dev:i386 and most importantly NOT with the suffix :i386.
(:i386 would replace the installed native amd64 versions and thus produces install conflicts and will abort whereas -i386 is for cross-compilation. And it' called libc6, not libc for some reason, at least on Ubuntu 14.04.)
So, libc6-dev-i386 is the one that fixes the issue. Small change, but cost me over an hour searching. Please update in your .md file, maybe somebody else also wants to do cross-compiling 64bit to 32bit.
