Some more to think about:

With multiarch there will be two files:

/usr/lib/i486-linux.gnu/libfoo.la
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux.gnu/libfoo.la

The libdir used in both files will always differ and other entries can
probably differ too.


Now which file shoud libtool parse? How does it know which file to
use?

The right file to use depends on what gcc option (-m32 or -m64) is
used and depending on the arch one or the other is the default if none
is given. I'm not sure if libtool can detect correctly for which ABI
it is building.
