We handle this at Red Hat by having a file buildrequirement on a file that is 
provided by the 32bit glibc, as well as a buildrequirement on just glibc.  
This way no matter what arch you're on, you'll get the 32bit glibc.  Now, at 
Red Hat we had to create a fake 'glibc32' package that is built x86_64 so 
that it is available in the x86_64 repo.  Perhaps you can do the same for 
sparc?
