That means it should require those 32-bit libs. Ideally this requires
would happen automatically, through the use of a .so symlink to a
versioned arch specific shared object. However I gather that this isn't
necessarily C so there is no symlink. I hate that we would have to add
yet another file requires here.
It is C/C++, and there is no .so symlink because the library uses
a version-less SONAME and therefore uses a .so file name already.
