Feature request: MultiArch

[LinArcX]

To be honest, i don't like apt and debian in general.

but one of the greatest feature of debian, is "multiarch":

https://wiki.debian.org/Multiarch/HOWTO

With this, you can be on a x86_64 machine, but you can install all the dependecies of your software in armhf and cross compile your software for armhf.

i think this feature is very handy for developers who are cross compiling software for different cpu architecture.(for example embedded developers)

[classabbyamp]

you can already do this by setting XBPS_ARCH/XBPS_TARGET_ARCH and using -r for an alternate root (this is how xbps-src does cross-compiling)

formalising tooling for this is discussed in void-linux/void-packages#27337
