huh? Please tell me, how a changed multilib_is_native_abi function would
help here. Either you restrict something to native abi or you dont,
having a check telling you "true - we are either native abi or not" is
not really usefull, is it?

We already do it in many cases, just take complete package rebuilds due
to USE flag changes. Having some more lines compiled wont kill your
computer, but will allow people to use their own target setup.

If you really care about building something, you should know, that
Gentoo is not the right place to complain about.
