both of you are putting words in my mouth then: obviously, if you call
your eclass multilib and the above function multilib_src_compile and
then pass it through EXPORT_FUNCTIONS, then it will loop.

let me copy paste what i wrote for you:

"""
then, in a future EAPI, let the PM call src_multilib_compile instead
of src_compile if multilib is requested.
"""

nothing more...
