That's worth fixing.  I probably won't use the -f option, though,
as it might not be portable.  In fact, I'm kind of tempted
to just comment out that section until someone figures out
the real story there.  I suspect totally disabling multilibbing
is appropriate for most crosstool users... but I'm more
than willing to be convinced otherwise, if there's evidence.
