What exactly did you need from ia32-libs? You build-depend on (only libs):

  libx11-6, libxext6, libgl1-mesa-glx, libxrandr2, libice6, libsm6,
  libfontconfig1, libxi6, libxcursor1, libxinerama-dev

That looks a bit odd to me. I see the source just unpacks the binaries
so I guess you need the libs for the shlibs files. But then why
libxinerama-dev?

Which of those do you actually need in 32bit to build?
