It's not "some random package" it's the C library, and it is needed to
compile 32-bit C programs.

The fact it's not listed as a prerequesite has already been pointed
out as a problem with the docs.

What do you mean it does not suffice? Do you mean it's not a good
enough solution, or it doesn't actually solve the problem?  If the
latter, did you try spelling it correctly, --disable-multilib
(singular)?

In any case, the point stands: someone needs to do the work, insisting
on it being done doesn't do it.
