You are going to need seperate toolchains, where afaik there are only two ways to tell them apart. The first is the path you install it in, the other is the binary code itself (and that only tells you they differ, not which one is for a defined arch).

So your best choice are those symlinks im afraid.
However, you can automate this process, maybe eselect can already do that for you, have not checked that yet.
