rubygem-gssapi is noarch, it seems there is no way how to specify this
dependency better then "Requires: krb5-libs", unless the rubygem-gssapi
would be arch dependent. Or is there any better way? Any suggestion?

I ended up doing the arch-dependent thing for python-webm (which wraps
libwebp with ctypes) because there didn't seem to be a better solution.

It hardcodes the .so file though, so it _really_ needed a soname-based
dependency; a simple "Requires: libwebp" wouldn't have been good enough.

I'd too would like to know if there's a better way... :-/
