Hi. I'm creating this issue to help others that may bump into it; if you're seeing an error like this while running make:
user@computer:~/Downloads/software/pp$ make

At first I thought it had something to do with having multiple architectures, but then I found an answer while googling that helped me fix it. Just install libc6-dev; you'll be able to make and make install afterwards.
