Indeed.  Many times you can get into a situation where both the run-time
and, when different between 32-bit and Long Mode targets, the *-devel
package may differ.  Sometimes both may be installed, although sometimes
both are not provided.  There is also the environment and other
targeting/linking aspects.

Typically one wants to build a chroot build environment, a virtualized
host, etc...  The Fedora Build System handles this as well.  Makes it much
easier.
