In a time long ago and a land far far away, I tried building a 64-bit
package with a 32-bit popt installed on it (I think it was galeon, but I
could be wrong). As long as popt.i386 was installed, the build failed with
the same error. Removing it (leaving only popt.x86_64) allowed the build to
complete. 

If you're going to build 64-bit packages, you'll want a system with as few
i386 packages as possible. I recall an e-mail earlier this month from Johnny
that listed only 3.
