New issue by 0syf3r on void-packages repository

https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/24270

Description:
### System

* xuname:  
  *Void 5.7.12_1 x86_64 GenuineIntel notuptodate rrmFF*
* package:  
  *libgcc-32bit-9.3.0_6*

### Expected behavior
`gcc -m32` works.
### Actual behavior
/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/9.3.0/libgcc.a when searching for -lgcc
/bin/ld: cannot find -lgcc
/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/9.3.0/libgcc.a when searching for -lgcc
/bin/ld: cannot find -lgcc
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
### Steps to reproduce the behavior
Create test.c:
```
int main() { return 0; }
```
Run
`gcc test.c -o test -m32`

Comment:
You need `gcc-multilib` not `libgcc-32bit`.

What's the difference between 32bit and multilib? Pretty confusing naming scheme if you ask me.

Comment:
`libgcc-32bit` is the `libgcc` package for i686 made available on x86_64. `gcc-multilib` is the compiler capable of working in a multilib setup.

Comment:
`-32bit` are packages/libraries built for 32bit x86. `gcc-multilib` are just split out parts of the x86_64 gcc built for -m32 support.

Comment:
Also, if you need to link to libgcc you probably need the `libgcc-devel-32bit` package.
