This is necessary to allow these toolchains to be built for a non linux/amd64 Docker image, and the specifics internally are the same, as we can see from the package details:

g++-multilib needs gcc-multilib (both not supported on aarch64), which uses libc6-dev-i386 for the i686 glibc. In short, this should produce identical code. Both of these packages are supported on the architectures our other non-x86_64 images support (arm64, ppc64el), and with #982, would allow us to also build these images natively (well, besides i586 on linux/386, which is part of #982).

i586 should actually continue to use multilib, since there is no native Linux image for it, nor support for this architecture anymore in Debian stable (it isn't even supported in oldoldstable, since it was no longer supported in stretch).

On second thought, it's probably better to support cross-compilation to i586 from aarch64, ppc64le, and x86_64 images, and just not support this single target on i686.
