This sounds like something is wrong in the build system. Where a package is
built on a multi-lib platform, isn't there an explicit "--target x86_64" ? If
so, rpm has the hint needed to resolve this all successfully. If rpm simply
chose only packages from the arch that is being built, there wouldn't be a
problem. Its that simple.
