If you don't need gcc-multilib, you have no need for libc6-x32 either,
especially since you can't even run x32 binaries on stock Debian
kernels[1].

/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 is the path to the ELF interpreter for
x86_64 (aka amd64) binaries, so you need to have a /lib64 directory if
you intend to run 64-bit programs.
