On multi-arch systems, there is usually just one set of binaries and one
or two sets of libraries.
If you want 2 gcj-dbtool programs, that's of course possible, but you
need to decide where to install them (e.g.
/usr/libexec/gcj/$LIB/gcj-dbtool
), but then all the programs that want to use gcj-dbtool need to figure out
which one they want to call.
For %post this location wouldn't be that hard, rpm %post would just call
/usr/libexec/gcj/%{_lib}/gcj-dbtool -p ...
But, will you require all Makefiles that deal with gcj-dbtool to call
/usr/libexec/gcj/lib/`$CC $CFLAGS -print-multi-os-directory`/gcj-dbtool
?

Certainly, one master .db file, although it will need some work inside
gcj-dbtool and libgcj.so, will make things far easier for the users and
developers.
