Isn't the intention of multilib to have a new (64bit) system be compatible with the corresponding old (32bit) system?
I'm not sure I understand the whole procedure you use to build this app. Why not simply use -m32 when building it? Why build a whole toolchain?
Anyway, as for the question of multilib's intention, yes, it's to have a 64-bit and 32-bit userland at the same time. But it doesn't work fully on Gentoo, which is why the effort for real multilib support has started in the first place.
