When you were using the 5.x branch, biarch was done on install via
what some consider a glitch in the installer. There was generally much
complaining about the whole load of x86 packages when people wanted
clean x86_64 systems.

Not at all, it's simply not as much of as a default as it once was.
the command "yum list available *.i?86" should show you a whole host
of packages available to put your shiny bits back in /usr/lib
