Installing glib2-devel.i686 alongside glib2-devel.x86_64 on Fedora?

[Ilyes Gouta]

Hi,

I'm attempting to build a software requiring glib2-devel.i686, however when
attempting to yum install it, RPM generates a transaction error and states
that few files from glib2-devel.i686 conflict w/the x86_64 flavor.

The listed conflicting files seem related to gdb and systemtap (tools)
integration, i.e not directly related to the glib2 core library.

Is it at all possible to have both glib2-devel packages installed on the
same machine?

Regards,
