Only the 64bit elfspe will run in 64bit. The SPE application will always run in
32bit.

So I suggest to use one of the two following possibilities for elfspe: 

1. Build a ppc and a ppc64 package of elfspe. 
- the problem here would be that if one installs both packages on one system the
elfspe binary will be overwritten.

2. Build the ppc64 package only. 
- Binaries in Fedora should be 64bit on a 64bit architecture. 


The libspe2-adabinding-devel package contains only include files for developing
ada based SPE applications. Therefore I'd say that we should use either build a
ppc or a ppc64 package only. 
As libgnat is available for ppc only it might make sense to build the
libspe2-adabinding-devel package for ppc as well. 

Are there any opinions, suggestions? What is the correct way of handling this in
Fedora?
