I wrote it myself and forwarded it upstream:
http://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=10100 (as is noted in
debian/patches/11-searchMultiArchLibDir.patch). As I remarked there, I'm
not entirely happy with it, because of the confusion of gcc-triplets
(/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu vs. /usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/) it makes the
code potentially brittle. IMHO I would prefer it if the Clang developers
just ditched this whole magic guess-work code and made the header and
file search paths configurable with config files.
