There's a way but its been years since I looked at rpm-4.5 ... gimme a day or
two
to think and remember (it will involve rpmrc resurrection and compatibility
scoreing if you are impatient).

Getting rid of multilib "colors" is dirt simple. Change this to "0"
# The default transaction color. This value is a set of bits to
# determine file and dependency affinity for this arch.
# 0 uncolored (i.e. use only arch as install hint)
# 1 Elf32 permitted
# 2 Elf64 permitted
# 4 MIPS reserved
%_transaction_color @RPMCANONCOLOR@
and everything is "white". Its a bisk map that is AND'd everywhere,
and we all know the truth table
x & 0 = 0
Any other usage case that can _NOT_ make that same transition was
b0rken when it was written.
