As you point out: The src.rpm dependencies (and thus yum-builddep) are not
reliable anyway. It is for example (usually) not possible to do 'yum-builddep
grub2' on i686. (IMO it would be better to deprecate yum-builddep and provide a
simple way to install build dependencies from rpmbuild/fedpkg, using locally
and correctly exapanded macros.)

It do however IMO matter that build requirements are 100% reliable that if just
the stated requirements are met somehow then we can trust that the build will
succeed and be valid. A unspecific requirement can be ambiguous and fatal on
multilib systems. IMO it is thus better to make the arch requirement explicit
when it matters.

But right, this is not how we do in Fedora where multilib has several grey
areas ... and this is thus not the rigth place to discuss it.
