+Sometimes it is desirable to reuse one existing multilib among different
+targets.  Such kind of reuse can minimize the number of multilib variants.
+Also for some targets it is better to reuse an existing multilib than to
+fall back on default multilib when there is no corresponding multilib.  To
+achieve this, just set @code{MULTILIB_REUSE} to the list of reuse rules.
+A typical reuse rule is comprised of two parts connected by equality sign.
+The left part of the rule are the options used to build multilib and the right
+part are the options representing target that will reuse this multilib.  The
+equality sign in both parts should be replaced with period.
+The @code{MULTILIB_REUSE} is different from @code{MULTILIB_MATCHES} in that it
+sets up relations between two option sets rather than two options.  Here is an
+example to demo how we reuse libraries built in Thumb mode for applications built
+in ARM mode:
+@smallexample
+@code{MULTILIB_REUSE} = mthumb/march.armv7-r=marm/march.armv7-r
+@end smallexample
+
+The @code{MULTILIB_REUSE} is a complementary way to select multilib.  Only when the
+original way fails it will work.
