The way multilib works is that mash will get all the *-devel packages
from i686 and add them to the x86_64 repository, along with all their
dependencies.
There's more to it than that, anything matching
%{_libdir}/lib*.so.*
as well as a few other special rules are multilib'd too.
But... from looking at apitrace-libs, it would appear none of those special
rules apply in this case either.
