Two very informative sites about how Debian is approaching the problem:
http://wiki.debian.org/multiarch
http://lackof.org/taggart/hacking/multiarch/

laying out the problem:
http://multiarch.alioth.debian.org/multiarch-hp-report.pdf
Also, Axel Thimm had what seemed like some reasonable proposals to do
with the multiarch binary installation part of the problem:
