You'll need to install many iX86 RPMs, mostly for libs obviously,
many of which overwrite files belonging to the x86_64 versions of
those RPMs. Mostly documentation and headers admittedly, not a big
deal, but some binaries too, which is annoying. (eg
/usr/sbin/iconvconfig in glibc RPM).
Why on earth weren't /(usr)?/bin64 directories created for the FC2
x86_64 port for x86_64 binaries to be installed to? ;) PATH is far
easier to manipulate than all those preexisting RPMs. (hindsight
20/20 possibly).
