Yes, unfortunately RH has drawn a couple of unfortunate decisions, we
now have to cope with:


With regard to SONAMEs the problem is this:
# rpm -q --provides -p xorg-x11-Mesa-libGL-6.8.2-37.FC4.49.2.i386.rpm
libGL.so.1

# rpm -q --provides -p xorg-x11-Mesa-libGL-6.8.2-37.FC4.49.2.x86_64.rpm
libGL.so.1()(64bit)

=> on x86_64 targets, "BuildRequires: libGL.so.1" pulls in the 32bit
version of the library, which subsequently breaks the old 
"BuildRequires: libGL.so.1" trick to circumvent all the permutations of
packages providing libGL.so.1, which had been applicable before FC4.
