I seriously doubt it'll work but unmasking a use flag is easy..

# mkdir -p /etc/portage/profile

To unmask it globally:

# echo '-multilib' >> /etc/portage/profile/use.mask

Or on a per package basis (note: for this to work properly requires portage
2.1.2 which isn't stable quite yet):

# echo 'cross-arm-elf/newlib -multilib' >> /etc/portage/profile/package.use.mask
