No, I meant what I said. I mean multi-arch. That is, checking across
all architectures from an x86_64 host.

That said, aarch64 and ppc64le are multi-lib arches, we just don't
ship it in Fedora this way.

For example, OpenMandriva is shipping armv7hnl + aarch64 multi-lib. We
just don't because we started earlier when most aarch64 systems
couldn't support 32-bit arm at all.
