When encountering this kind of problems, it helps apt if you add
all packages listed to the command line, until you see the real
problem. In my build chroot, it looks like this:

(pbuild25746-sid/i386)root at tglase:/# apt-get install gcc-i686-linux-gnu:amd64
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 gcc-9-i686-linux-gnu:amd64 : Depends: binutils-i686-linux-gnu:amd64 (>= 2.34) but it is not going to be installed
                              Depends: libgcc-9-dev-i386-cross:amd64 (>= 9.3.0-13cross1) but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Then I add the packages:

(pbuild25746-sid/i386)root at tglase:/# apt-get install gcc-i686-linux-gnu:amd64 binutils-i686-linux-gnu:amd64 libgcc-9-dev-i386-cross:amd64
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Package libgcc-9-dev-i386-cross:amd64 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'libgcc-9-dev-i386-cross:amd64' has no installation candidate


So we see that the package libgcc-9-dev-i386-cross:amd64 does not exist
in Debian. There is the bug. (Also, why can’t it use libgcc-9-dev:i386?
Really…) Go bother the GCC maintainer…
