No because that would confuse a toolchain which only supports n32 with
one that supports o32/n32/n64. Anyhow, Michał response is heading in
the right direction where we'd have to use multiple tuple on multilib
system support more than one lib. I'm still not sure where this will
land us with respect to gnuconfig and other tuple parsing tools that
bring in their own assumptions.
