Re: [PATCH 1/1] Add multilib build support for libc target. Libc is build <multilib>-times in seperate sysroot directories. In a last step links are created to reflect the expected multilib structure.

Indeed, this was missing in your first and second patches:
    http://sourceware.org/ml/crossgcc/2011-11/msg00029.html
    http://sourceware.org/ml/crossgcc/2011-11/msg00040.html

I now have a better understanding of what is required, and where it is.
Thanks!

That I understood, the part that was misleading was the missing hunk
in do_libc_start_files.

That is something we'll have to check later: is it possible to have more
than one multilib running on the target? I believe that would need some
non-trivial hackery to work properly...

Anyway, with the missing part you added above, it is more clear what you
were trying to achieve.

Yep, I was just saying ;-)
