Yes, I've noticed that biarch packages are now built natively with -m cflag.

Not when using the native compiler.  Maybe we could have a i*86-*-linux-gnu
cross-compiler.

Also note that we could want native i*86-*-kfreebsd-gnu libraries as well (for
kfreebsd-amd64), so the situation is a bit more complicated.

But then kfreebsd-i386 would be the only arch doing that?

ITYM DEB_HOST_ARCH.

No problem.  ia32-libs was a dirty hack anyway; i expected this to happen
already.

I suggest we put this on hold for now.  Let's keep this bug open for future
reference ok?
