That what at least one debian/rules does.  I believe that now fails.  On
this workstation, "dpkg-architecture -qDEB_HOST_MULTIARCH" produces
x86_64-linux-gnu but /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu does not contain any crt
files (just liblouis.so, whatever that is).

brs% gcc -print-file-name=crt1.o
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.6.1/../../../../lib/crt1.o
