Thanks, it's indeed better to specify this per architecture so I've
updated the patch. It changes the output of -print-search-dirs though.

With the previous patch "cc -m32 -print-search-dirs" printed:

  install: /usr/libexec/
  programs: =/usr/bin/:/usr/bin/:/usr/libexec/:/usr/libexec/:/usr/libexec/
  libraries: =/usr/lib32/:/usr/lib32/

And now it prints:

  install: /usr/libexec/
  programs: =/usr/bin/:/usr/bin/:/usr/libexec/:/usr/libexec/:/usr/libexec/
  libraries: =/usr/lib/32/:/usr/lib/../lib32/:/usr/lib/:/usr/lib/

That works, but it's not entirely correct.
