That's only an issue for folks doing parallel "make check" for multilibbed
configs. Granted it'd be nice to handle that, but I don't think that's
the most important issue at hand, and it certainly doesn't work right
now!
If we want to handle that case, then I might suggest we have the
tmpdir be a subdir of the testsuite object directory. The name of
the subdir would be derived from the multilib options.
So, does someone want to write a patch for that? Or do we go with
a partial solution?
