But what is the specific need for having both 32 and 64 bit development 
packages *installed at the same time*? You do need to explain this, 
because any solution will add complexity and headaches for oe-core 
maintainers, and multilib is already far too complex and tricky.

If the customer is fine with switching between the two sets, then this 
can be trivially solved using existing tools:

1. Deinstall 32 bit dev packages on device.
2. Install matching 64 bit dev packages on device

... or vice versa. Just wrap it in a script.
