given that [1] ubuntu no longer support ia32-libs in 13.10+  and [2] ubuntu
has decided to switch to 64-bit by default, i believe we should provide an
explicit note about how to run the 32-bit Linaro GCC on 64-bit machines, as
it is wrong to either use a 32-bit OS install, or stay on an older OS
version to workaround the problem ;-) The current README still refers to
ia32-libs package.
