Shouldn't hurt to have both installed. Although I suppose it could be
that the wrong one gets used to build and the right one tries to get
used at runtime, or vice-versa... If you want to make sure you're
building a 64-bit binary, yeah, yank the 32-bit pieces and see what
happens... (for me, 'yum remove \*.i386 \*.i686' is part of my usual
post-install process on x86_64 boxes... :).
