Current biarch packages like libc6-i386 do *not* install a symlink for ld.so so there is no conflict. However, the maintainer scripts for the various x86 libc packages are doing a lot of conditional changes to symlinks and directories to make coinstallation and upgrades work properly. You should ask the glibc maintainers <debian-gl...@lists.debian.org> how this works for x86 and how it could translate to mips.
