-This option controls whether to build libOSMesa. By default, this is
-enabled for the Xlib driver and disabled otherwise. Note that this
-option is different than using OSMesa as the driver.

-options and macros to aid in debugging the Mesa libraries.

+<dd><p>By default, the build will compile code for the architecture that
+it's running on. In order to build cross-compile Mesa on a x86-64 machine
+that is to run on a i686, one would need to set the options to:</p>
+
+<p><code>--build=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu --host=i686-pc-linux-gnu</code></p>
+
+Note that these can vary from distribution to distribution. For more
+information check with the
+<a href="https://www.gnu.org/savannah-checkouts/gnu/autoconf/manual/autoconf-2.69/html_node/Specifying-Target-Triplets.html">
+autoconf manual</a>.
+Note that you will need to correctly set <code>PKG_CONFIG_PATH</code> as well.
+
+
+<p>In some cases a single compiler is capable of handling both architectures
+(multilib) in that case one would need to set the <code>CC,CXX</code> variables
+appending the correct machine options. Seek your compiler documentation for
+further information -
+<a href="https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Submodel-Options.html"> gcc
+machine dependent options</a></p>
+
+<p>In addition to specifying correct <code>PKG_CONFIG_PATH</code> for the target
+architecture, the following should be sufficient to configure multilib Mesa</p>
+
+<code>./configure CC="gcc -m32" CXX="g++ -m32" --build=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu --host=i686-pc-linux-gnu ...</code>
