Upstream is not so sure now.[2]

Bug#889106: gcc-6: Support simpler multiarch systems

[Javier Serrano Polo]

Source: gcc-6
Version: 6.4.0-12
Severity: wishlist
Control: forwarded -1 https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=84173

One goal of a multiarch system is to make possible to run programs from
any other architecture. ELF executables depend on an interpreter that
should have a unique name; otherwise, loading the executable is
complicated.

Simpler multiarch systems use multiarch interpreter names. Thus, I ask
if Debian could support such systems. Also, I would appreciate
recommendations about proper interpreter names for Debian architectures.

Upstream does not want to support these systems. glibc Debian
maintainers, despite interoperability advantages, think these systems
are ugly and must not be supported in Debian.[1]
