That won't work. This is a mixed package. Some mono .exe/.dll's and
some ELF libs/programs.
The upstream hula install seems to be doing the right thing by putting
mono .exe/.dll's into /usr/lib/hula and the ELF .so libs into
%{_libdir}. But there is one ELF program hulamonohelper that is being
put into /usr/lib/hula along with the mono .exe/.dll's.
My question is whether I should try to move that program around to a
different location since it's going to be a 64bit binary on an x86_64.
(Hmmm... and on Fedora it should probably go to %{_libexecdir} rather
than %{_libdir})
Also -- a bit more explanation of why mono apps need to go in /usr/lib
is in order b/c the Core packages tomboy and beagle end up
in /usr/lib64/ on an x86_64.
