Could gcc-multilib & dependencies be compiled for hurd-amd64 as well? Without it we're missing the -m32 flag.

Thanks!

Put another way: why do you need -m32? We didn't feel it was worth
spending the time to fix the 32bit multilib support when that will be
moot in 2038 anyway.

I have a package whose autoconf checks for -m32 to produce 32-bit
binaries on 64-bit ports. Implementing this on amd64 and x32 merely
required adding gcc-multilib to Build-Depends. hurd-64 fails that
check because there's no gcc-multilib.

But there are other ports that don't have a 32bit variant (e.g.
loong64), so that case exists anyway.

True, but the package in question very much is x86 anyhow i.e. 32-bit
binaries should be possible on all x86 variants. Right now, hurd-amd64
is the only one not setup for this.
