This is an any-of dep, so it does not really change anything for
emul-linux users. I've taken specifically this approach to relax
the timeline for multilib attempt and allow testing it without the need
to enforce it on anyone.

I'm afraid that so far the most negative opinions came from people
directly related to the portage-multilib project. While I value their
opinion, I'm afraid they are a little biased by the fact that we're
working on something alternate to their project, and which may cause
their work to end up mostly irrelevant.
