If there are 32/64 packages available, and they don't properly > install/run, then that's generally considered a bug (that should be fixed). Here is one: # rpm -q --qf "%{name}.%{arch}\n" -f /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 libgcc.i386 # rpm -q --qf "%{name}.%{arch}\n" -f \ /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.3.0/32/libgcc_s.so gcc.x86_64 # ls -l /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.3.0/32/libgcc_s.so /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.3.0/32/libgcc_s.so -> /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 i.e. an x86_64 package depending on an i386 package. Now try to install /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 in an x86_64 mock chroot. I am trying to package a package which needs to build and run some bits "-m32 compiled on x86_64". Works in a normal (multilib'ed x86_64) environment, but I haven't managed to get this working in mock.
