What I noticed when I first started messing with Debian was that the
compiler was setup as if it was a cross compiler by default, meaning that
/usr/lib was IIRC, a link to /usr/i386-gnu-linux or something similar.
Why not do something like this?  It seems a bit easier to manage, no need
to create special names or anything.
