Well when you install FC x86_64 you get all these 32 bit libs installed. If
you rpm -qa you get a lot of lib packages in double. One is 32 bit, one is
64 bit.
rpm -qa --queryformat
"%{name}-%{version}-%{release}.%{arch}\n"
zlib-1.2.3-3.i386
zlib-1.2.3-3.x86_64
Yes, but that doesn't mean you have all the libs you need, necessarily.
So that obviously mean they have been compiled. Since I cannot find a
separate SRPM for 32 bit and 64 bit, I have to assume the same was used.
Yes, there is only one SRPM. Remember you are wanting to compile
32-bit on a 64-bit system. By default, it wants to build 64-bit. A
32-bit system, on the other hand, wants to build 32-bit by default.
In actuality, though, I believe mock is used for building packages.

I don't see how mock can help solve this issue. It seems to be oriented
towards spec file verification.
It can be used for that, but I don't see how you got that to be the
main purpose.

I guess you missed this part:
"In addition. if building i386 packages on x86_64, prepend setarch
i386 to the mock command line:
setarch i386 mock -r <configfile> package-1.2-3.src.rpm"
And the <configfile> will be an i386 one (installed in /etc/mock/ when
you install it). This looks like what I remember doing last time I
tinkered with it.
I keep looking. If anyone else got a suggestion, thanks for letting me know!
If you think about it, it would be insane to package a distro with different
sets of rpms. So there has to be a solution that's not so crazy. Maybe
recompiling gcc? I seem to have seen some hints to that effect but haven't
investigated further yet.
I'll say it again: check out mock :-). "yum install mock"
