Severity: important

Please move symlink of /usr/include/asm
from 'gcc-multilib' to 'gcc' package, because

1. failing to be found of /usr/include/asm causes
failing to build many sources.
2. 'build-essential' package depends on 'gcc' package,
but 'gcc-multilib' not.
3. /usr/include/$(DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH)/asm is provided
by linux-libc-dev package of all linux architectures now.

Here is a patch for moving asm symlink.

No, ideally, this symlink should be shipped in a separate package built from the
eglibc or linux package.

fix these sources instead.  asm can be found on the include path.

no, build-essential should not install anything which is not multiarch-aware.

yes, and it is found.
