Dan answered the technical question.

Anyway, it is probably a design flaw (?) and multi-arch conversions 
ignore flaws in the design.  You can grit your teath and do the 
conversion anyway :-)

The rationale is two fold.  If people tried to fix every design flaw 
they found during the conversion process then the conversion process 
would never be finished.  Once everything is converted, it is going to 
be far easier for someone to go through all targets and test/fix the 
design problems.

enjoy,
