Because it's nice to have a single toolchain that can support multiple target
boards. That's the whole point of multilibs. Ideally we'd be able to build a
single compiler that could (with suitable multilibs) build for any arm
target. As someone while distributes and supports toolchains it's a pain
having to have different toolchains for linux, uclinux, SymbianOS, bare elf,
big endian, little endian, etc.
