Right now (in poky) the plan is to work like the redhat way... We intend to
put in the checks, validation, etc to find and assist people in fixing multilib
header issues..

Heh. Since we're still planning for poky/OE-core I figured it made sense to
know how others have solved this issue so we can come up with an appropriate
solution for our embedded needs... But the more I look at the Mandriva
approach the less I think it's applicable for what we're doing.
