Not so related to your patch though...
I reviewed some patches about x32 and ilp32 toolchains support and it seems that
we need to handle at least two more weird libraries location: libx32 and
libilp32. Each of these series try to define LIB_SYMLINK with their own specific
value (libilp32 and libx32).

See:
x86-64 x32 ABI:
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/561904/

aarch64 ilp32 ABI:
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/506803/
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/506800/
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/506801/

In your patch, I like create_lib_symlinks helper function which avoid to define
TOOLCHAIN_LIB_SYMLINK with a different value than lib32 and lib64. Instead we
rely on the ARCH_LIB_DIR returned by the arch-sysroot to create additional
symlinks with the correct name.

Obviously, we need to adjust the sed "magic" in toolchain_find_libdir and
toolchain_find_sysroot for libilp32 and libx32 but we can do that in a followup
patch series.

So, I think this patch make it easier to add the support of theses specific
toolchains:
