--- Comment #2 from Eric Gallager <egall at gwmail dot gwu.edu> ---
In some of the t-linux64 Makefile fragments in config/gcc/, I found the
following comment that seems to describe what the value of MULTILIB_OSDIRNAMES
represents:

# On Debian, Ubuntu and other derivative distributions, the 32bit libraries
# are found in /lib32 and /usr/lib32, /lib64 and /usr/lib64 are symlinks to
# /lib and /usr/lib, while other distributions install libraries into /lib64
# and /usr/lib64.  The LSB does not enforce the use of /lib64 and /usr/lib64,
# it doesn't tell anything about the 32bit libraries on those systems.  Set
# MULTILIB_OSDIRNAMES according to what is found on the target.

Is there a more central location to which this comment should be moved? Or
should it just be copied-and-pasted to the rest of the 64bit-Linux-specific
Makefile fragments as well?

The point isn't documenting the rationale for particular choices, it's 
documenting (in fragments.texi) the general semantics, including for the 
A=B and A=!B forms.  It looks like the documentation was added by

r193508 | doko | 2012-11-14 21:29:15 +0000 (Wed, 14 Nov 2012) | 36 lines

but without closing this bug.
