We've been building packages like that for years, so I don't understand
how it would require changes. E.g. we had glibc.i386 and glibc.i686, when
glibc was built, it was built for both of those architectures and rpm/yum
chose the right one.

I think it should have that support like it had for i686 vs. i386.

It is superior to that, because you don't have to pay the cost every time
you run the program.
