It doesn't work. When I try to install the renamed rpm, I get a message
that the mysql-shared package is already installed. There is something
inside the RPM file to say this is mysql-shared not mysql-shared-32bit.

I will try to modify a .spec file to properly name a shared-32bit
package. Perhaps this is where Novell should supply multiple .spec files
in the src.rpm or provide a single .spec file that completely recreates
their distributed binaries.

It almost looks that way.  I did an "rpm -qip" against the normal and =
-32bit RPMs, and they were built on different days, on different machines:
Release     : 12.18                         Build Date: Mon 21 Apr 2008 =
11:40:47 PM EDT
Install Date: (not installed)               Build Host: s390z16.suse.de

Release     : 12.18                         Build Date: Tue 22 Apr 2008 =
02:52:15 AM EDT
Install Date: (not installed)               Build Host: s390a02.suse.de

It may be that the "s390" command was used to do the rpm build on a 64-bit =
system, but I've never used that.
