The results of that may be somewhat confusing if the user can not also
somehow specify MULTILIB_DEFAULTS.
Also, specifying the multilib string directly is a very sharp knife.
It's easy to get it subtly wrong, particularly when you need to use
negative options. It might be somewhat safer if the user could
instead specify equivalents to MULTILIB_OPTIONS, MULTILIB_DIRNAMES,
MULTILIB_MATCHES, MULTILIB_EXCEPTIONS, MULTILIB_DEFAULTS, etc., etc.
