Multiarch does not has support for arch-qualified headers yet, and upstream 
won't do all the necessary effort to change that file just because a distro or 
two want it. So there is no need to track anything.

If at some point we get support for arch-qualified headers feel free to reopen 
the bug or fill a new one.

In other words:

- No, it does not makes any sense to keep this bug open.
- Yes, it does means that cross-builds are not doable. You can workaround this 
by using a chroot.

Kinds regards, Lisandro.
