I think the reasons are to avoid using the same SONAME for
incompatible multilibs, and to need a single additional directory in
ld.so.conf. I suppose we could do similarly for all GCC-related
libraries on multilibbed platforms in which we create shared
libraries. It would require a little bit of abuse from libtool's
-release flag (in which we'd now pass the multilib name, to get it
encoded in the library SONAME), but it can be done.
