Hi.
Most usages of 'multilib' are now covered by 'multiarch'.
https://wiki.debian.org/Multiarch
All multiarch variants of Ada library packages (providing the shared
object) are coinstallable (in your case i386 and amd64), so you will
should no problem *running* an i386 program on an amd64 system.
As far as I know, the same holds for gnat-8 and libgnat8-dev, but most
other -dev packages are not coinstallable yet, so you will probably
need a chroot or something similar to *build* an i386 program.
