Examples?
Last I looked, it was texlive.
This might go back to the time when biber was distributed as a packed
perl archive on x86 but not x86_64.
No, it was actually due to the existence of source files of the form
<pkg>.<cpu>-cygwin.tar.xz.
But it was fixed a year ago. See the discussion at
https://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin-apps/2016-05/msg00049.html
and cygport commit 5c559d5ea49d69116d3073b68c8fb1e70522370a.
Interesting.
Anyhow, it seems that any cases of this we know of are bugs or mistakes.
We can always adopt the solution here, where the source package contains
sources for both arches (ofc, if those are fundamentally different,
there's a question as to in what sense they are the "same" package
anyhow... :-))
