Mostly, but not only, -devel packages. you're doing it the other way around; that is a lot better. But using 64 bit stuff on a 32 bit distro is just one gigantic nightmare. Using selected 32 bit things on a 64 bit distro is much nicer and often works (and we ship quite a bit of 32 bit stuff ourselves for those)
