[Bug 1347820] Re: gcc arm/powerpc cross-compiler packages conflict with gcc-multilib

[dkl]

** Description changed:

  Ubuntu 14.04 i386 offers arm/aarch64/powerpc/powerpc64 gcc cross-compiler packages:
  gcc[-4.8]-aarch64-linux-gnu
  gcc[-4.8]-arm-linux-gnueabihf
  gcc[-4.8]-powerpc-linux-gnu
  gcc[-4.8]-powerpc64le-linux-gnu
  
  but they have "Conflicts: gcc-multilib", making it impossible to install
  them together with -m64 support (cross-compiling to amd64).
  
  gcc-multilib isn't just a "meta-package" that could be omitted either,
  because it provides the /usr/include/asm symlink (see also bug #774215).
+ 
+ Similar report: bug #1311711
