It's quite unlikely to have impact.  multilib support is used only in
very few packages, notably GCC.  But still, we'd like to fix the test
failure if possible:

There is none ATM.  This will change in the next major version.

The XFAILs are expected failures.  Could you please post verbose output
of the failed test, like this:
  cd tests
  env TESTS=multlib.test VERBOSE=yes make -e check

Thanks,
