Debian has had specialized support for multilib for several years but
GNAT never included this support. There is an effort ongoing to provide
generalized multilib support in GCC; my intention is for GNAT to also
support this generalized multilib in GNAT.
The "specialized" multilib support I refer to exists only for a few
tuples: (i386, amd64); (mips, mipsel); (arm, armel, armhf) etc. In the
case of (i386, amd64), amd64 machines require the packages
lic6{,-dev}-i386 which are different from the libc6{-dev} packages on
i386. This is an ugly hack.
The "generalized" multilib support will allow Debian to drop these ugly
packages completely. Instead, one will simply be able to install the
i386 packages on an amd64 machine.
If you would like more details or to follow the work, please join the
debian-gcc@lists.debian.org list.
