This is indeed correct, that said it's not true for the locale of the
reporter, ie cz_CZ.utf8, so I am afraid there is another bug there,
probably related though.

This is done for ldconfig to be able to display localized messages.

I see two way of fixing this issue:
- make sure the directories are sorted in a locale independent way
- update debian/patches/any/local-ldconfig-multiarch.diff to add
standard search paths before the configured ones.
While this is definitely a bug, I still believe that we should not allow
the installation of libc6:amd64 and libc6-amd64:i386 together and that
gcc should be able to use the multiarch library as an alternative to the
multilib one, so that users are not forced to install two almost
identical libc on their systems, with the consequences we see.
