Speaking of ppc64 (big-endian, I assume) vs ppc64el, do you think it's
possible and reasonable to use same assembly files? That's how the
current ARM big-endian support works.

Can you explain why it's different? I thought the point of the debian
multilib organization was to enable installing the native packages,
i.e., apt-get install libstdc++6:ppc64el rather than apt-get install
libstdc++6-ppc64el-cross. But I'm not that familiar with the details of
the debian cross packages.
From a quick look, it seems that e.g., gcc-mips-linux-gnu depends on
libc6-dev-mips-cross, and gcc-powerpc64-linux-gnu has a similar
dependency.

Do you need to explicitly install libstdc++? I would expect the
g++-$host to depend (or recommend) on the right library packages.
