As discussed with Richard on email exchange, this request is filed to keep track of the need to have support for building multilib native commands under poky. Today, multilib is only available for target image and not on build machine.

To work-around the issue today, lib32 libraries that are required to build a 32-bit native command on 64-bit build machine (x86_64) has to be pre-installed on build-system sysroot from respective Linux distro.

The issue with U-Boot is no longer the case.

We're not seeing the need for this any more and it would be significant work to impleement.
