As a generic filtering mechanism this is a no-go, doing this breaks 
multilib as Fedora uses it:

%global _use_internal_dependency_generator 0 \

Multilib-safe filtering mechanism needs to be bolted to the internal 
dependency generator, patches welcome... The other alternative would be 
killing the multilib coloring which would "only" require splitting all 
relevant packages to separate -libs etc to avoid elf32/elf64 binary 
collisions (which the multilib coloring currently hides)
