My personal take on this is that multilibbed -devel packages are rarely
tested and largely useless. Most people use mock (or some other chroot
mechanism or a VM) for building 32 bit packages on 64 bit hosts instead.

Multilibbing libs makes a lot of sense, but -devel packages, not so
much. I wonder how many users would miss this if we were to blacklist
all -devel packages in mash.

Anyway, having said that, I've hopefully now fixed it in
libchamplain-0.12.8-1.fc21 build.
