Description:
This is a minor problem, but it's also easy to fix.

The --set-variable and -O options have been deprecated since 4.0.2, but a couple of instances of them appear in support-files/mysql-multi-server.sh:

# A typical multi-instance /etc/my.cnf file would look like:
# [mysqld]
# basedir=...
# set-variable = key_buffer_size=16M
# set-variable = max_allowed_packet=1M
# [mysql_multi_server]
# svr1-datadir=/foo1/bar
# svr2-datadir=/foo2/bar

How to repeat:
By inspection.

Suggested fix:
Remove "set-variable =" in both lines:

# A typical multi-instance /etc/my.cnf file would look like:
# [mysqld]
# basedir=...
# key_buffer_size=16M
# max_allowed_packet=1M
# [mysql_multi_server]
# svr1-datadir=/foo1/bar
# svr2-datadir=/foo2/bar
