This is still hardcoded in the ia64 kernel. So at least a link for it
must remain at least on ia64.
Apart from that we the ia32-libs maintainers have decided years ago
not to do any complicated transition or anything on it but to phase it
out when multiarch dirs come to live. It will be gone when it is empty.

It says:
| Binutils
|
| Binutils has to look for libraries in /lib/$(host triplet) and
| /usr/lib/$(host triplet), in addition to the standard paths on the
| architecture.
Last year I asked upstream to include those in the default linker
script and that was vetoed. The reason given was that it is GCCs job
to define the default library paths and not LDs. The fact that LD does
already define a ton of other paths and even keeps adding them even if
they are wrong has been completly ignored.
