You need to set the "extra arches" that a package gets built for, in
addition to the arches defined for that tag.  Use:

koji set-pkg-arches "i686" dist-foo-build kernel

In Fedora Koji the i386 build builds a kernel-headers package.  If
that's not working for you, you can avoid the i386 build altogether by
putting "ExcludeArch: i386" into the spec file.

Fedora uses the glibc32 and glibc64 packages to provide these
dependencies.  A bit of a hack, but it works:

http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewcvs/rpms/glibc32/devel/
http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewcvs/rpms/glibc64/devel/

Koji won't let you pull i386 packages into a x86_64 build environment,
or vice versa.  The build environments are single-arch only.
