Add Libc multiarch package as build prerequisites on 64-bit platforms to the README
PATCH 1/1 Add Libc multiarch package as build prerequisites on 64-bit platforms to the README
When building on 64-bit platforms this prevents build errors for 32-bit components which are enabled on a default build.

Thanks.
There also seems to be a little inconsistency on the wiki on page:
http://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Compiling_Xen_From_Source
The list of packages for yum (Redhat/Fedora) already includes glibc-devel.i686, however the list of apt-get (Debian) packages doesn't include the libc multiarch package yet.
(Don't think i have any wiki access any more, or at least i can't remember the login)

BTW, to be completely pedantic these are "biarch" packages.
Under Debian the "multiarch" package would be libc6-dev:i386 and you would need to have run "dpkg --add-architecture=i386" at some point.
libc6-dev:i386 is the actual dev package from the i386 repository as opposed to a special libc6-dev-i386 in the amd64 repository.
I don't believe the RPM world has anything equivalent to multiarch.
I'm not proposing we change anything though and I think libc6-dev-i386 is the right thing to be recommending for the time being.
Ian.
