If I understand correctly, "manylinux-builds" is the name of Matthew's first set of utilities to help with building manylinux wheels, and "multibuild" is the name of Matthew's second set of utilities to help with building manylinux (and other) wheels.
I believe that multibuild is still using the manylinux docker image to build wheels that are compliant with the manylinux spec, and you're still free to build manylinux wheels any way you want as long as they comply with the PEP. But Matthew generally know what he's doing ;-), so if you're trying to figure out the best tooling to build your own wheels (esp. if you're like Matthew and trying to do this for lots of projects at once using free services like Travis-ci), then multibuild is probably worth checking out.
