If you have any library build systems depending on ABI-specific
binaries, you should wrap the binaries, otherwise you will have to add
and maintain custom hacks for all consumers and for the complete
lifetime of the consumers.
If you want to add such wrapper, you can look into the multilib-portage
overlay for such a wrapper, which has now been working and tested for
some years.
