To start with GAP itself, I plan to add a symlink in GAP 4r7p5,

/usr/lib/gap/bin/$(GAParch) -> /usr/lib/$(multiarch triplet)/gap/bin
and make sure packages like IO can be compiled without patching the configure
system.

Note however, that true multiarch would require splitting all arch:any
GAP packages in two packages, which is more costly than any potential
benefit of multiarch GAP packages.
