gcc doesn't provide stdlib.h, glibc-headers does. But even for the headers
gcc provides (like <stdarg.h>), it makes sure the headers are either arch
independent or in some other way usable for all multilibs.

Sure, don't do it then.

Any package that has this should be fixed not to do that.
gcc is carefully split into non-multilib and multilib subpackages, and that
is not going to change.

Those guidelines don't tell you to require gcc%{?_isa}, only gcc (or
gcc-c++).
