When I first started working with GDC, I had a hell of a time 
getting the cross-compiler to build.  I disabled multilib simply 
to remove a variable.  Since I was able to eventually get what I 
needed with that configuration, I left it as is.  In summary, the 
choice to disable multilib was rather arbitrary.

I'm not currently working on this, and I don't have the hardware 
to properly test it.

Timo also asked about this a while ago, but it didn't elicit much 
discussion 
(http://forum.dlang.org/post/uwkshliqwbmmxdfiuaow@forum.dlang.org). 
  I'm not knowledgable enough about it, so I wasn't able to offer 
any help.
