What I had proposed was to let RTEMS source tree's default configuration
to default to building RTEMS multilib'ed.

I.e. people would have to explicitly specify --disable-multilib to build
RTEMS non-multilib'ed, instead of having to specify --enable-multilib to
build RTEMS multilib'ed, as the situation is now.

It basically means to inverse the default value of
--enable/disable-multilib of the source-tree's configuration.


The purpose of this step is to encourage people to build RTEMS
multilib'ed, to extend exposure of multilibs and to shake out
multilib-related issues early in RTEMS development process.
(ATM, we have a pretty poor footprint on such issues)
