As I said, I'm more a fan of the MultiArch approach as it avoids the whole effort of repackaging 32-bit binaries into x86-64 RPM packages. You can just install the 32-bit packages from the 32-bit distribution on a 64-bit system. What's the technical reason MultiArch works on Fedora but not on Tumbleweed?
%_libdir conflict between architectures, basically. Also stuffing libraries with other files into a package (which is somewhat discouraged but not uncommon). Some packages might have architecture-specific files that are neither libraries nor executables which needs to be resolved on case-by-case basis. Thanks Michal
