Are you sure? Probably you meant "Requires" instead of "BuildRequires",
but even then, there are automatic x86_64-specific SONAME dependencies
already: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/rpminfo?rpmID=1075605
If this needs to be done for audit-libs-devel, that implies we would
need to do it also for all other -devel packages.
