This works for Requires (or Recommends) but not for BuildRequires:
I have found now by
https://github.com/msimacek/koschei/issues/54
there exists
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#BuildRequires_and_.25.7B_isa.7D
(I find this as a workaround of broken rpm/yum(/dnf?), this is why
I was adding %{?_isa} to BuildRequires, but that is offtopic for this
mail thread.)
which talks only about forbidden %{?_isa} in BuildRequires but apparently it
IMO applies also to ()(64bit) suffixes in BuildRequires.
But using
BuildRequires: libFOO.so.X
without the ()(64bit) suffix does not work on 64-bit archs:
error: Failed build dependencies:
librpm.so.7 is needed by gdb-7.10-28.fc24.x86_64
So I can only remove such BuildRequires completely but then it may quietly
build a package (gdb) which has wrong librpm version dependency built in.
I will have to add a manual %build-time shell check instead.
