Issue

  • Compilation fails with 'error: gnu/stubs-32.h: No such file or directory' when building a program with -m32 gcc argument
  • As an example, build the following program:

    #include <iostream>
    using namespace std;

    int main(){
        cout << "HELLO\n";
        return 0;
    }with the command:

g++ -m32 t.CThe output is as follows:
