Public bug reported:

Seen on 11.10

$ dpkg -L libx11-dev | grep ".so$"
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libX11.so

However, libx11-dev does not install a /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libX11.so
(even though it installs /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libX11.so.6)

Even though libx11-dev is installed, the linker can't find it:
$ gcc -m32 -lX11 blah.c # Error "cannot find -lX11"

** Affects: libx11 (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided

- dpkg -L libx11-dev | grep ".so$" shows /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-
- gnu/libX11.so, but no 32bit equivalent (even though libX11.so.6 is
- installed in /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu)
