Perhaps a solution would be to disable multilibs by default, at least
for native targets? On powerpc-linux for example, soft-float multilibs
get built even though there is no use for them - quite annoying when you
forget to turn them off by hand. We could then perhaps have a
configuration option to turn on specific multilibs for those who want them.
