Well, libc:i386 is only needed if you use a pre-built external
toolchain, or some other pre-built tool. Otherwise, it shouldn't be
needed at all.
Moreover, for the specific case of pre-built external toolchain,
Buildroot does a check before starting the build, and if the 32 bits C
library (libc:i386) is not installed, it aborts with an error message.
It would be good to know if the problem you had was related to
pre-built external toolchains, or to some other thing.
Thanks,
Thomas
