All arm binaries can be runnable on aarch32 mode of aarch64 kernel.

Actually that isn't entirely true. The kernel that's currently shipped in raspbian for RPi3 is actually an ARMv7 kernel where the firmware boots the ARM cores as v7 cores. The kernel code that's running there is ARMv7 code not cortex-a53 code paths. That is a fairly special usecase and you can actually do that on Fedora ARMv7 with a Fedora ARMv7 kernel, not a aarch64 kernel. ARM multilib is something we explicitly decided not to support when we were dealing with that. Multilib is a mess on x86, it's not a mess we need on ARM.
