@item C standard library and headers
In order to build GCC, the C standard library and headers must be present
for all target variants for which target libraries will be built (and not
only the variant of the host C++ compiler).
This affects the popular @samp{x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu} platform (among
other multilib targets), for which 64-bit (@samp{x86_64}) and 32-bit
(@samp{i386}) libc headers are usually packaged separately. If you do a
build of a native compiler on @samp{x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu}, make sure you
either have the 32-bit libc developer package properly installed (the exact
name of the package depends on your distro) or you must build GCC as a
64-bit only compiler by configuring with the option
@option{--disable-multilib}. Otherwise, you may encounter an error such as
@samp{fatal error: gnu/stubs-32.h: No such file}
