We have 2 conceptions here: Multilib: we have libc6-mips32 and libc6-mipsn32, both of these 2 packages are marked as mips64el packages. They install c libraries into /lib and lib32. Multilib is what we are talking about here. The problem we talking about is whether we should install them to /lib or /libo32. Multiarch: we have a package libc6 for both mipsel and mips64el. libc6:mipsel install o32 libraries into /usr/lib/mipsel-linux-gnu, and libc6:mips64el install n64 libraries into /usr/lib/mips64el-linux-gnuabi64. With multiarch, we can install not only c libraries, but other (nearly) all libraries of foreign arch(s).
