The '-i' option is for 'info'.  The info should be exactly the same for 
both i?86 and x86_64 arch packages.  If you do have a reason to want 
this information, though, you can use the following query, in this case 
for the libgcc package:

    rpm -qi --qf '%{name}-%{version}-%{release}-%{arch}\n' libgcc
