One way to solve all multilib problems is to scratch multilib and use
multiarch, e.g. avoid the arch-overwriting mechanism we currently use,
so I wouldn't say we're off-topic in considering multi-arch.

OK, but why? Any suggestions need to be considered based on benefits
and drawbacks. If at the end there are more benefits that drawback one
chooses that, but w/o analysing it and blocking something from the
