No.  Feel free to submit changes upstream; it's a good idea.  I think you'd 
have to get multilib builds working properly for libstdc++ on x86.  The 
multilibbing scheme in gcc is somewhat confusing to me (despite doing some 
work on it), but if you can grok it, go for it.  It's probably better 
understood by porters for arches where multilibbing is already used by 
default.
