It's almost never what users want and causes issues even if they change
the profile later.

crossdev environments need to support merged-usr now, especially now
that the profile can be selected. The logic around this is messy and
best handled by the baselayout package when it is supported by the arch.
This package now gets installed immediately before binutils. It means a
few small extra files get installed, but that's a small price to pay. We
could INSTALL_MASK them, but that would just add more complexity.

At the moment, I think this is more or less just a rebase of what I did. That might be enough if we ignore multilib.

It is -- as stated in the title?

I think we should.

What is the issue with multilib? I looked at #32 a while back and the notes just said there were problems with the ABI list on avr but didn't get into a whole lot of detail. Is there an easy way I can duplicate the issue? I ask because I am dealing with a bunch of the arm multi-lib stuff in a separate pr and I am not convinced we should just ignore it.
