--- Comment #7 from Panu Matilainen <[email protected]> ---
Oh and actually, Fedora packaging guidelines effectively prohibit us from doing
anything about it:
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/#_buildrequires_and_isa
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/#_buildrequires_based_on_pkg_config

Ie, pkgconfig() dependencies are recommended for BuildRequires, but at the same
time BuildRequires MUST NOT be arch/isa-specific which is what they'd need to
be in order to make this work with pkgconfig() deps.

https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/#_architecture_specific_dependencies
outlines how it can be fixed on per-package level though: add a manual
arch-specific dependency to the -devel package. In this case, in
freetype-devel,

    Requires: harfbuzz-devel%{_isa} 

...but good luck getting every -devel dependency in the distro fixed like that.
I'll reassign to freetype though as that's the one place where this particular
issue *can* be dealt with right now.
