Yes, this is somewhat weird:
They have /lib/i386-linux-gnu/ and /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/
but anyway they use /lib32 instead of e.g. /lib/i686-linux-gnu/
Their reasons for this are mysterious to me.

Migrating to the completely split setting /lib{,32,64,x32}
would be _less_ intrusive than to simultaneously omitting /lib32:
With a slight modification of Michał's tool (in the instructions
and keeping lib32 untouched) not even a re-emerge of anything
would be necessary (as is the case now).

This is one of the reasons why a completely split layout appears
safer to me than to combine it with yet another new merge we
have no experience with.
