FWIW, we've been using a multilibbed uClibc for some time now; I do
not believe we have any local uClibc patches for that purpose. All
we do is adjust PREFIX when installing.
We don't have any lib/$(MULTILIB) directories; it was much simpler to
put each into its own sysroot and it works nicely at runtime too.
