Per /etc/ld.so.conf.d/x86_64-linux-gnux32.conf:
  # Multiarch support
  /usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnux32
  /lib/x86_64-linux-gnux32
  /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnux32

So if you put libraries in the path you listed, then they won't load.
Use /usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnux32.

Binaries are classically not multi-arch so there's no canonical path
(or path-forming algorithm).
IMO put them in /usr/local/bin directly,
or, if you do need to form a multiarch path,
in /usr/local/bin/x86_64-linux-gnux32 (p.a. to lib)
+ add PATH=/usr/local/bin/x86_64-linux-gnux32:$PATH
if you want to enable them.
