Package: general
Severity: critical

Debian has choosen to implement multiarch, which amongs other things,
means that the includes and libraries are moved in a new "multiarch"
path. This breaks some upstream applications and non-Debian toolchain.

It is possible to workaround some of the issues as described in 
/usr/share/doc/libc6/NEWS.Debian.gz.

| eglibc (2.13-11) unstable; urgency=low
| 
|  Starting with the eglibc package version 2.13-5, the libraries are
|  shipped in the multiarch directory /lib/$arch instead of the more
|  traditional /lib.
|
|  The toolchain in Debian has been updated to cope with that, and most
|  build systems should be unaffected. If you are using a non-Debian
|  toolchain to build your software and it is not able to cope with
|  multiarch, you might try to pass the following option to your
|  compiler:
|
|    -B/usr/lib/$arch

I got fed up by people reporting bug on libc6, while this problem results
from a decision Debian to implement multiarch. People should work on
implementing a compatibility wrapper and to make upstream toolchain
multiarch aware. Until this is done, this bug should be kept opened.

This was now ~9 years ago and this report had no activity since late
2014.  I would hope it is no longer relevant, so I'll close the report.
