Issue body
Some 64 bit software needs some 32 bits development packages in order to build. See for example the build dependencies for https://github.com/MaartenBaert/ssr, which include "libx11-6:i386 libxfixes3:i386 libglu1-mesa:i386".
Snapcraft should allow one to write:
parts:
ssr:
build-packages:
- g++-multilib
- libx11-6:i386
- libxfixes3:i386
- libglu1-mesa:i386
This is very similar to bug 1655797, just for build packages.
