the reason for the slouching is simply man power/interest.  the people 
responsible for the amd64 port and multilib design moved on for various 
reasons, and the multilib support pretty much stayed unchanged.  of late, ive 
been cleaning up and absorbing multilib responsibility as we support more ABIs 
with our various non-amd64 targets.  and with x32 coming, we need this stuff 
to be in place ahead of time.
