It actually isn't a joke. I would actually like to see a
multiarch:foreign interface to gcc. Are there other ways this could be
achieved?

I am aware that implementing this feature is a huge amount of work. Can
you give more detailed answers to my other questions even if you do not
intend to do this work yourself? Those questions were:

Another option for this case might be multiarch:allowed. However the
current multiarch spec does not permit an explicit gcc:amd64 dependency.
