I would prefer to follow the existing scheme also.  If you change the
rv32 glibc paths, then you will also need changes to gcc and binutils
at least, and maybe also to other stuff, as these paths are already
hard wired into those tools.

Maybe the FHS can be fixed to allow these paths?  If <qual> isn't
allowed to contain a /, then it seems that debian and ubuntu are
already violating it with the multiarch support which puts libraries
in /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ for instance, but maybe they don't care, or
maybe this non-slash interpretation is wrong.  Though researching that
a bit, I found this
    https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-opersys.html
which says they follow FHS with exceptions, one of which is to allow multiarch.
