The commit is this one:
https://github.com/fedelibre/LilyDevOS/commit/67f7d3cfa080aa8cc10fdacb488b1aaf65c97a85

It simply installs the package libc6:i386


The list of dependencies for GUB (notes taken a month ago or so) is 
(for Debian-based distros):

sudo apt-get install build-essential ca-certificates gcc-multilib 
gettext git python texlive-binaries texlive-metapost texlive-xetex

For Fedora I found these:

sudo dnf install make automake patch xz unzip findutils gcc gcc-c++ 
glibc-devel.x86_64 glibc-devel.i686 ca-certificates gettext git python

but I can't remember why I listed texlive in Debian and not in Fedora...

No, he's using Ubuntu and he was blocked by a different problem.
