I did, but Peter Jones reverted my commit in dist-git and wants the live CD compose process changed to allow dragging in syslinux-nonlinux.i686 instead: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1086446#c8 By the way, Mash did include syslinux-nonlinux-6.02-1.fc21.i686.rpm, syslinux-extlinux-nonlinux-6.02-1.fc21.i686.rpm and syslinux- tftpboot-6.02-1.fc21.i686.rpm in the x86_64 repositories on the mirrors. The composes in Koji wouldn't find them anyway, and error out instead. (The x86_64 live image composes in Koji have all been failing due to that.) Interestingly, my local x86_64 compose did complete, but failed to boot with the error message in #1086446, as did the i686 composes from Koji. So there seems to be more than one issue here. I don't know yet whether 6.02-2.fc21 will work any better there, I'm waiting for it to hit the mirrors so I can respin my local live image compose. It shall also be noted that the old syslinux 4.xx also included *.c32 files, they just weren't split into an i686-only subpackage, but shipped in the main syslinux.x86_64 (and also syslinux.i686) package. It's this duplication that Peter Jones wants to avoid. I disagree with him about the usefulness of those subpackages, and in particular on whether it's a worse hack to have some non-Linux (e.g. BIOS) 32-bit binaries (that neither BuildRequire nor Require any i686 packages) in an x86_64 package (as has been done in the past) or to require otherwise non-multilib x86_64 setups to ship i686 packages to be able to boot (his subpackage setup).
