Issue body
I have a snap that uses:
parts:
...
preload:
source: https://github.com/sergiusens/snapcraft-preload.git
source-type: git
plugin: cmake
and snapcraft works great with armhf, arm64, pp64el and i386. amd64 fails though because it needs to have this:
parts:
...
preload:
source: https://github.com/sergiusens/snapcraft-preload.git
source-type: git
plugin: cmake
build-packages:
- libc6-dev-i386
- libc6-dev-x32
- gcc-5-multilib
- gcc-multilib
but I can't use this for non-amd64 because libc6-dev-i386 only exists on amd64. It would be nice if snapcraft supported this, like with stage-packages:
parts:
...
preload:
source: https://github.com/sergiusens/snapcraft-preload.git
source-type: git
plugin: cmake
build-packages:
- on amd64:
- libc6-dev-i386
- libc6-dev-x32
- gcc-5-multilib
- gcc-multilib
If it did, I could use a single snapcraft.yaml to build this part for all architectures.
