          <para>Libtool tends to do the wrong thing when building for multilib,
          at least on the non-default size(s) of architecture.  The causes of
          these errors are not well understood and they can appear, or disappear,
          as a result of apparently innocuous other changes in the build.  In
          this version of the book, one of the tests (pdemo-make) fails to link
          because it tries to link the 32-bit objects against 64-bit system
          libraries. This option enables the test to succeed without impacting
          the other tests (compare the common alternative fixes of
          <literal>LD="gcc ${BUILD32}"</literal> which causes far fewer tests
          to be executed, and configuring with
          <literal>LDFLAGS='-L/lib -L/usr/lib'</literal> which in this case
          causes other tests to fail.)</para>
