I'm getting the following issue when trying to run make on the HTK library:
(cd HTKLib && make HTKLib.a)
|| case "" in *k*) fail=yes;; *) exit 1;; esac;
make[1]: Entering directory '/home/william/speech/htk/HTK-3.4.1/htk/HTKLib'
gcc -m32 -ansi -D_SVID_SOURCE -DOSS_AUDIO -D'ARCH="x86_64"' -Wall -Wno-switch -g -O2 -I. -DPHNALG -c -o HGraf.o HGraf.c
In file included from HShell.h:40:0,
from HGraf.c:54:
/usr/include/stdio.h:27:10: fatal error: bits/libc-header-start.h: No such file or directory
#include <bits/libc-header-start.h>
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm unsure what to do about this error. The libc-header-start.h file is present on my system:
$ find /usr -name libc-header-start.h
/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/bits/libc-header-start.h
Running gcc -H -fsyntax-only /usr/include/stdio.h appropriately returns
. /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/bits/libc-header-start.h
.. /usr/include/features.h
... /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/sys/cdefs.h
etc.
Also, compiling and running a sanity-check C file works fine (simply executing printf("hello!"); in its main method).
Apologies if this is a well-known error - my experience with C libraries stops at compiling and installing them using make.
UPDATE
Per the accepted answer below I executed sudo apt-get install gcc-multilib to install the missing 32 bit libraries.
Afterwards I got an error with a similar cause: "/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lX11" error when installing htk. I resolved this by executing sudo apt-get install libx11-dev:i386 libx11-dev to retrieve the missing 32 bit library.
