This is an ongoing problem in yum/rpm/Fedora/etc. where packages want
arch deps. but rpm does not yet offer them (very new rpm fills in
%{_isa} to solve this problem).
Atm. it's not really a packaging problem or a yum problem, although you
can work around it by using a file dep. in the package ... or by doing
excludes in yum (or telling yum to install apr-devel.x86_64 by hand).
