Unfortunately, some binaries (i686) are sometimes needed when building
a library, especially as we don't "cross-compile", so the first binary
needed will be gcc (which also has few libraries).
Because of that, drawing the line between what is needed for multilibs
and what's not is a moving target. As some dependencies might "change"
for a given library.

We are currently experiencing that in "3rd part" as we are only
building a limited set of packages for i686. (because the way i686
repository is only provided in koji vs normal repositories).
Maintaining an i686 buildroot synchronized from koji adds some
dependencies for the same set of i686 packages to build.
