The killer is this:

This is a blocker, because it prevent you from installing 386 and the x86_64
packages in parallel.

Bummer. This is yet another blocker. They are exporting a define which clashes
with autoconf's autoheaders. This will render this package unusable with any
autoconf based package using AC_BIG_ENDIAN (cf. info autoconf) and gcc43.
 
Worse. Your remark had caused me to have a closer look into the headers.
They are scattered with autoheader defines which all will trigger the same issue
as outlined above.

IMO, this package is not in a shape to be added. I recommend to withdraw it.
