I've tried this and almost succeeded, thanks!

Tests build fine, but dropping the g++-multilib dependency had the side effect of not installing libc6-i386 anymore, and now tests fail because when trying to run them the system cannot find the dynamic loader.

I see that there's a libc6-i386-cross package which seems to include a loader, but it's not in the expected directory.

Do you have any suggestions as to how to solve this?

Thanks again for the help! Bye :)

P.S. sorry for the possibly broken reply. I'm on my phone.
