I have been having this problem since 2001 on SuSE or openSUSE.
For some reason, GCC's build machinery  does not want to
detect at configuration type that there is no stub-32.h file, therefore
there is absolutely no point in trying to do a multilib which would fail.
I have to provide explicitly --disable-multilib; like you, I think we
should not have to do that.
