For example, as far as I know, you need the 32-bit host libraries for
running 32-bit Windows applications in Wine.  Dropping that would make
our Wine packages almost useless, since a large fraction of Windows
software still isn't 64-bit.

Would it be possible to have package foo's x86_64 build produce a
foo.i686.rpm, or even just a foo-32.x86_64.rpm for this?  Wine is an
important use case, but keeping the whole arch machinery around for it
seems like overkill - just having the packages that are relevant for it
build 32-bit variants as a special case seems a lot cleaner.

If cross building is used, that might cut down the buildrequires issue. You might eventually be able to just have this for packages required by wine and steam for i686.
