The same error happened for other software:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/lib32-libidl2/

It's also mentioned here,

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/fsthost/

with a link to

https://github.com/i-rinat/apulse/issues/37

Perhaps Arch was affected, but seemingly at least Suse and Debian
are or were affected by this issue.

Are you the same Brian as

https://sourceforge.net/p/fsthost/discussion/general/thread/a319f975/?limit=25#f8bc

?

The hints on the Arch website might help you to fix it for Ubuntu, too.
I could build it on Arch Linux:

[rocketmouse at archlinux aur]$ yaourt -S fsthost

==> Edit PKGBUILD ? [Y/n] ("A" to abort)

I edited

  depends=('jack' 'libxml2')

to

  depends=('jack2' 'libxml2')

==> fsthost dependencies:
 - jack2 (already installed)
 - libxml2 (already installed)
 - gtk3 (already installed)
 - lib32-libxml2 (already installed)
 - wine (already installed)
 - perl-xml-libxml (already installed)
 - lib32-jack2 (package found)
 - lib32-gtk3 (package found)

[rocketmouse at archlinux aur]$ rm fsthost-1.6.2-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

What I removed here is a package for Arch Linux, providing fsthost.

[rocketmouse at archlinux aur]$ sudo pacman -R lib32-at-spi2-atk lib32-at-spi2-core lib32-colord lib32-cracklib lib32-dconf lib32-glib-networking lib32-js17 lib32-json-glib lib32-libepoxy lib32-libgudev lib32-libgusb lib32-libproxy lib32-libsoup lib32-libtirpc lib32-libxkbcommon lib32-libxtst lib32-nspr lib32-pam lib32-polkit lib32-rest lib32-sqlite lib32-gtk3 lib32-jack2

I didn't install it and removed all 32-bit libs, since I don't have any
VSTs.
