If it not possible, I think a hack will be ok, at least temporarily.

Yes, moreover, we will need a hack in the glibc for sometime, so why not 
in binutils. But that's may not be necessary, we have to test.

Yes, that's the base of multi-arch. Currently bi-arch is implemented via 
  /lib and /lib64, but that's not suitable for us. Maybe we will have to 
speak with the multi-arch people in Debian to make sure we use the same 
standars. There was a presentation of it at Debconf5.
