but aren't there multilib packages (ix86 and x32) built from gcc-x86-64 
.spec?

i.e install "gcc-x32 -n th-x64_64" not "gcc -n th-x32"

why do we have *multilib* packages then? perhaps those should be dropped 
in favour of using builds from specific arch trees?

as for the gcc-dirs problem:
i would package x32/ix86 dirs in x86_64 gcc-dirs.spec
