[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] doc/linux gsg: add gcc-multilib as package hint

[Harry van Haaren]

When compiling for i686 targets compilation could fail
if the 32bit libc6-dev package is not installed. The
gcc-multilib packages is a meta-package that will pull
in the necessary dependencies, making setup easier for
beginners.
