In my opinion your multilib approach introduces an unnecessary degree of complexity, which --as has been shown here again-- is prone to breakage. It would be best for our beloved distro to revert all the multilib changes, and try a different approach, or leave this prone-to-breakage implementation to an overlay for the few people who would actually benefit from it. -- Cheers, Ben | yngwin Gentoo developer
