From your description we are not adding a host rpath.  It's coming from
/sysroot/usr/lib32 which is converted to /usr/lib32 by stripping the
sysroot.  If you were to run the binary purely in the target environment
then it would find the library in the target's /usr/lib32.  It is not
clear to my how the binary is being run on the host, but doing so uses
the host's /usr/lib32 because the binary was built for the target.

The purpose of that features is so on a 64-bit system with 64-bit libs
in `lib` and 32-bit libs in `lib32` that we find the latter when the
target architecture is 32 bit.

I was thinking the same thing.  The lib => lib32 search path conversion
should just be skipped if lib32 is a symlink back to lib.

Yes, the issue I filed is about handling symlinks when comparing rpath
entries to the list of implicit directories.

I encourage you to sign up on gitlab.kitware.com to join discussion in
that issue.
