Please consider calling it something with MULTIARCH in if you're using
Debian multiarch tuples, maybe LIB_MULTIARCH or LIB_MULTIARCH_TUPLE -
that's the consistent Debian/Ubuntu naming for these tuples (e.g.
DEB_{HOST,BUILD}_MULTIARCH in dpkg-architecture).

In particular, please avoid calling it "multilib", which seems to be
fairly consistently used to refer to the lib/lib64/lib32 style of naming.

I don't think you'll necessarily get that from #ifdefs, although I'd
like to be proved wrong.

Using the canonicalized GNU tuple from autoconf ("canonical" as in "has
been passed through config.sub"), then transforming it to deal with
special cases like i?86 -> i386, might be a better approach? I know
some of the Ubuntu people who worked on multiarch had scripts floating
around that did that.

It's probably worth talking to the dpkg maintainers, they are the
"namespace owners" for multiarch at the moment (although I think there
have been noises about getting multiarch into the FHS if the FHS ever
has another release).
