Yes but ... the glibc-devel...x86_64.rpm package is already installed.  gcc 
needs both the x86_64 AND the i686 glibc-devel packages installed to build 
properly.  This may be the only situation that would need packages from two 
different platforms to perform the build.

I was wondering if there was a way to include the platform/architecture in the 
BuildRequire ... perhaps something like

%ifarch x86_64
BuildRequire: glibc-devel i686
 %endif
