What is -32?  My system can run natively amd64, i386 and x32, and qemu-user
lets me run anything else, I think I got armhf, powerpc and arm64 binaries
lying around (ok, in chroots, but still).  Your idea would have -32 clash
between i386, x32, armhf and powerpc.

I'm afraid you need a different naming scheme.
