In short:
In the Fedora Build System - http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/ - a source
RPM package is built for at least one target architecture. Hence for the
openssl src.rpm there are separate build results for x86_64 and i686 (and
any other primary archs that may have been configured). The builds for all
architectures must succeed, or else the complete build job is considered a
failed attempt.

In the package repositories, the i686 build of openssl-libs is published
in the x86_64 repository by a repository compose tool ("mash"). It knows
several strategies to determine which packages are to be put in a multiarch
repository.
