It looks like the same situation as other executable packages, such as bash,
coreutils, ppc64-utils, etc. The ppc64 repository (development/ppc64/,
releases/9/Everything/ppc64/, etc) have only ppc64 packages, so I thought that
the ppc64 package should be built for ppc64 targets. Is it unnecessary to care
about this case?

Hmm, the Fedora's ppc repository provides only 32bit version of libgnat, and the
ppc64 repository provides no libgnat, though the gnat compiler seems to be able
to generate both of 32bit and 64bit object files...
