following the instructions, compilation failed because of missing predefs.h on Ubuntu #72

When trying to install go1.2 using gvm on a linode, compilation failed due to not being able to find predefs.h. A little bit of research led to the solution of running sudo apt-get install gcc-multilib. This should probably be somewhere in the readme.

Hmm I checked with Ubuntu and that file is provided by libc6-dev (http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=precise&arch=any&mode=filename&searchon=contents&keywords=predefs.h) which should be a requirement for install gcc. I'll have to do some more digging. I want to keep the requirements list as accurate as possible.
