Fedora Core 5's multi-lib environment was geared toward running 32bit apps, 
and only a small number of packages were setup to be multi-lib.

In FC6, we're also targetting app development, and as such made some changes 
to rpm and to our tree building software so that any package that has 
a -devel subpackage will be considered multi-lib and brought into the tree.  
If you wish to test this out, please try Fedora Core 6 Test 2.
