[Bug 1481440] [NEW] multi-arch ld cannot find -lSDL or -LSDL-1.2

Public bug reported:

I'm trying to compile a 32-bit application on Trusty x86-64. I've
installed the libsdl1.2-dev and libsdl1.2debian:i386 packages
successfully. When I try to compile any 32-bit application that links to
-lSDL, it fails to link.

#include <SDL/SDL.h>
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
	if (SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO) != 0) {
		exit(1);
	}
	SDL_Quit();
	return 0;
}


The above trivial C application below builds just fine as 64-bit with the following command: gcc main.c -lSDL
But when I try to build it with the -m32 flag, using the command: gcc -m32 main.c -Wl,--verbose -lSDL
I get the following output:
