There are only 10 multilibs, and it spends most of its time actually
running the testsuite.  It would be more scary if I had it running
tests on the multilibs.

I think the other targets I suggested have a similar number of
multilibs, except for i960, and ARM (which have many fewer and many
more, respectively).
