Looks like I'm contradicting myself here.

Multiarch builds will have multiple qmake anyway (installed in the libexec), 
since they refer to different $libdir/qt5/mkspecs, as those contain arch-
specific data (qconfig.pri, qmodule.pri, etc.). Also, third-party buildsystems 
need to call this wrapper anyway to find the tools in libexec, so they might as 
well get the libdir from it too.

Question to distros: what's the proper way to solve the "config tool" multiarch 
problem? TBH, this looks like an unsolved problem:

 $ i386 pkg-config --cflags dbus-1
 -I/usr/include/dbus-1.0 -I/usr/lib64/dbus-1.0/include
 $ i386 mysql_config --libs
 -L/usr/lib64/mysql -lmysqlclient -lpthread -lz -lm -lrt -lssl -lcrypto -ldl

I want to make the tool detect it was run under a modified arch.
