I didn't know that glibc was interested by multiarch, that's why the
patch haven't been submitted yet.
There is no real multiarch support patch (at least for the glibc side),
most of the work is done by passing the correct configure options. The
patches mostly add support for non-common values.
I have identified 3 patches changing around 50 lines each, that are part
of the multiarch support. The authors are Steve Langasek and myself. I
don't know if has done the copyright paperwork, I have Cced: him.
