Sadly enough, its been a while since I've booted into a linux
environment.  (mostly because since xorg 1.6/kernel 2.6.26 my radeon
9800 just doesn't work all that well anymore.)  But such queries might
be answered better on the multilib mailinglist:

Also, to answer your question:

http://lmgtfy.com/?q=binutils+and+binutils-multilib+conflict

Its the first result :)
