Note that --multi is not about multi-process in the same sense you're
talking about.  It is a preexisting option that means that gdbserver 
will stay persistent even when the inferior exits.  It also enables
starting up gdbserver without giving it a process to start with.
You'll need to connect with "target extended-remote" in that case.

The gdbserver multiprocess support is in head already, but needs
more GDB side work to be useable.

What exactly are you seeing?  I just run a few non-stop test
(mi-nonstop.exp, mi-nsintrall.exp and ns-nsmoribund.exp tests)
against linux x86-64 gdbserver head, and they passed cleanly for
me, so *something* is working.  :-)
