ok.

I was asked to split the ix86 and infrastructure bits from the bits for all
other architectures. I think it does belong here. The with_float macro is then
used for e.g. ARM to distinguish between hard and soft float triplets.

this is for the auto case. SYSTEM_HEADER_DIR is not accessible/available from
config.gcc. This is the same approach as taken for MULTILIB_OSDDIRNAMES. Also 
setting the names for the multiarch directories in the same place as done for 
for the MULTILIB_OSDIRNAMES seems to be better choice.

I did add the pointer to multiarch, which already is in fragments.texi:

   More documentation about multiarch can be found at
   @uref{http://wiki.debian.org/Multiarch}.

The feedback about what and where information about multiarch should be added, 
changes from reviewer to reviewer.

Attaching the updated patch.

yes, this is mentioned at http://bugs.debian.org/637232 too. I proposed a patch 
to add a libc6-dev-compat binary package which can be installed together with 
the existing libc6-dev packages.

SYSTEM_HEADER_DIR is available in gcc/configure.ac, and you could do
the $(if $(wildcard $(shell echo
>> $(SYSTEM_HEADER_DIR))/../../usr/lib/*/crti.o) there.  I can't see any reason to do it at make time rather than configure time.

Don't reuse end here.  Use a new variable.

Please update the comment for set_multilib_dir.  It's not a very good
comment, but it does describe the syntax, and you seem to be changing
the syntax.

The existing comment here is reasonably clear.  Please update the
comment to show why this change is correct.

+@findex MULTILIB_OSDIRNAMES
+@item MULTILIB_OSDIRNAMES
+If @code{MULTILIB_OPTIONS} is used, this variable specifies 
+a list of subdirectory names, that are used to modify the search
+path depending on the chosen multilib.  Unlike @code{MULTILIB_DIRNAMES},
+@code{MULTILIB_OSDIRNAMES} describes the multilib directories using
+operating systems conventions, and is applied to the directories such as
+@code{lib} or those in the @env{LIBRARY_PATH} environment variable.
+The format is either the same as of
+@code{MULTILIB_DIRNAMES}, or a set of mappings.  When it is the same
+as @code{MULTILIB_DIRNAMES}, it describes the multilib directories
+using operating system conventions, rather than GCC conventions.  When it is a set
+of mappings of the form @var{gccdir}=@var{osdir}, the left side gives
+the GCC convention and the right gives the equivalent OS defined
+location.  If the @var{osdir} part begins with a @samp{!},
+GCC will not search in the non-multilib directory and use
+exclusively the multilib directory.  Otherwise, the compiler will
+examine the search path for libraries and crt files twice; the first
+time it will add @var{multilib} to each directory in the search path,
+the second it will not.
+
+For configurations that support both multilib and multiarch,
+@code{MULTILIB_OSDIRNAMES} also encodes the multiarch name, thus
+subsuming @code{MULTIARCH_DIRNAME}.  The multiarch name is appended to
+each directory name, separated by a colon (e.g.
+@samp{../lib32:i386-linux-gnu}).
+
+Each multiarch subdirectory will be searched before the corresponding OS
+multilib directory, for example @samp{/lib/i386-linux-gnu} before
+@samp{/lib/../lib32}.  The multiarch name will also be used to modify the
+system header search path, as explained for @code{MULTIARCH_DIRNAME}.
+
+@findex MULTIARCH_DIRNAME
+@item MULTIARCH_DIRNAME
+This variable specifies the multiarch name for configurations that are
+multiarch-enabled but not multilibbed configurations.
+
+The multiarch name is used to augment the search path for libraries, crt
+files and system header files with additional locations.  The compiler
+will add a multiarch subdirectory of the form
+@var{prefix}/@var{multiarch} before each directory in the library and
+crt search path.  It will also add two directories
+@code{LOCAL_INCLUDE_DIR}/@var{multiarch} and
+@code{NATIVE_SYSTEM_HEADER_DIR}/@var{multiarch}) to the system header
+search path, respectively before @code{LOCAL_INCLUDE_DIR} and
+@code{NATIVE_SYSTEM_HEADER_DIR}.
+
+@code{MULTIARCH_DIRNAME} is not used for configurations that support
+both multilib and multiarch.  In that case, multiarch names are encoded
+in @code{MULTILIB_OSDIRNAMES} instead.
