AFAIK, Bryan Hundven was going to exclude --with-multilib-list for arm
if gcc < 4.9, and exclude it altogether for all arches other than Intel,
arm and sh.

crosstool-ng had limited broken multilib support and this series attempts to
fix that.

I'm also quite new to mercurial, so someone may need to correct me.
Tutorial:

Some useful commands to get started (I grabbed these from my bash history).
To clone:
hg qclone -p https://bitbucket.org/bhundven/crosstool-ng-multilib
http://crosstool-ng.org/hg/crosstool-ng crosstool-ng-multilib
To list the patches in-order:
hg qseries
To see where you are in the list:
hg qapplied (I think hg log will also do this, I do hg log | less as
otherwise it's a bit spew happy)
To push (apply) all patches:
hg qpush -a
To pop (un-apply) all patches:
hg qpush -a
(you can use a name from the series instead of -a to push / pop to that point)
To change the patch you're currently at with your working tree
hg qrefresh
To change the message of the patch
hg qrefresh -e
