When enabling a lib32-gcc in a 64 bit build, without doing any
other configuration, the mutilib dir is unspecified, which is
represented internally in gcc as "." and as such uncovers an
invalid free on a non-malloc'd pointer.
As suggested by the gcc folks, simply make sure the "." case
is also stored in a malloc'd pointer, so that the intended
runtime behaviour of the code remains unchanged.
Patch has been accepted by upstream maintainers of gcc.

[v2: worked with gcc folks to get a variation on the 1st
patch which is now accepted into mainline gcc trunk. ]

+Subject: [PATCH] gcc: fix segfault from calling free on non-malloc'd area
+
+We see the following on a 32bit gcc installed on 64 bit host:
+
+ Reading symbols from ./i586-pokymllib32-linux-gcc...done.
+ (gdb) run
+ Starting program:
x86-pokymllib32-linux/lib32-gcc/4.9.0-r0/image/usr/bin/i586-pokymllib32-linux-gcc
+
+ Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
+ 0xf7e957e0 in free () from /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libc.so.6
+ (gdb) bt
+ #0 0xf7e957e0 in free () from /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libc.so.6
+ #1 0x0804b73c in set_multilib_dir () at gcc-4.9.0/gcc/gcc.c:7827
+ #2 main (argc=1, argv=0xffffd504) at gcc-4.9.0/gcc/gcc.c:6688
+ (gdb)
+
+The problem arises because we conditionally assign the pointer we
+eventually free, and the conditional may assign the pointer to the
+non-malloc'd internal string "." which fails when we free it here:
+
+ if (multilib_dir == NULL && multilib_os_dir != NULL
+ && strcmp (multilib_os_dir, ".") == 0)
+ {
+ free (CONST_CAST (char *, multilib_os_dir));
+ ...
+
+As suggested by Jakub, ensure the "." case is also malloc'd via
+xstrdup() and hence the pointer for the "." case can be freed.
