It seems that a lot of effort has been put into the multi-arch stuff but
most of it centers around recognizing a binary and setting things up based
on that.  I'm pondering whether that is the right approach in all cases.
Shouldn't the target be telling gdb what it should be doing rather than the
other way around?

Yes.

Will need to read the rest of your e-mail later :-(  BTW, there's also:
http://sources.redhat.com/gdb/papers/multi-arch/real-multi-arch/index.html#SEC40
as a second discussion point.
