Since its removal, this configuration has been reintroduced. Mark
maintains this IIRC.

This is my understanding:
multi-arch is a generalized form of biarch, the idea being that one gdb
binary can debug multiple targets. The most common form of this is a gdb
that can debug 32-bit and 64-bit binaries on the same machine, but
presumably one could build a gdb that can debug e.g. x86 targets
natively, and at the same time an embedded arm target. I don't know if
we are quite there yet though. Most of this work involves encapsulating
target specific operations into vectors that can be changed at runtime,
instead of having link-time bindings of those operations.
