Hi, Ross

The issue reproduced when multilib is enabled globally in local.conf by 
following config:

```

require conf/multilib.conf
MULTILIBS ?= "multilib:lib32"
DEFAULTTUNE:virtclass-multilib-lib32 ?= "core2-32"

```

bitbake meta-go-toolchain will failed with above failure.

[snip of meta-go-toolchain.bb]

TOOLCHAIN_TARGET_TASK:append = " \ ${@multilib_pkg_extend(d, 
'packagegroup-go-sdk-target')} \ "

[snip of meta-go-toolchain.bb]


go is in packagegroup-go-sdk-target,  it is extended by 
multilib_pkg_extend.  so both go and lib32-go will be installed.

go is added in to packagegroup-go-sdk-target for providing entire 
toolchain include compiler.
