Do we need to do that at the file level at all ? If we're not actually
building fat elf binaries straight from the toolchain, we could make the
package fs make a different lib/ folder show up for each architecture,
with only the libs available for this particular architecture.
This needs a support in the toolchain (-l has to look at the libs for
the target binary, not the one for the gcc that's running), but then it
will be about as trasnparent to users and devs as it is right now:
setgcc arm
make
setgcc x86_gcc2
make
setgcc x86_gcc4
make
And you'd get a set of 3 binaries (or 3 packages) ready for testing.
