Updating multilib support after a compiler is built

Hi, Is it possible to update the multilib combinations supported by GCC after it has been built? (I would like to build some libraries optimised for different CPUs variants, that aren't built by default). I tried doing this via a specs file, but something like the following fails: %rename multil
