I haven't tried it, but it at least introduces the question 'what 
coreutils/X/KDE do you want?'.

Of course, I'd say that if that works decently, you're still providing 
functional multilib. So I don't really care about how it happens under 
the hood, as long as it works.

Hmm, maybe then you are thinking of things that are far less 
stand-alone. The only "run-time environment" we care about is that the 
program can be executed (so, kernel can load it, glibc.i?86 exists, 
etc.). We tend to have very few if any dependencies beyond libc (and 
even then, beyond libc/libm/libpthread, we usually provide our own).
