fedora-list at redhat.com would probably be more appropriate.

You have the x86_64 glibc-common, the error is for the 32-bit version.  
Why are you trying to install the 32-bit stuff?Your yum config is  
mildly horked if yum is doing that automatically, only the 64-bit  
stuff should get pulled in.

Well, quite frankly, you seem to be biting off more than you can chew,  
trying to build your own packages... Start smaller. Grab the ATrpms or  
RPM Fusion source rpm, run 'yum-builddep mythtv', then try an rpmbuild  
--rebuild. Baby steps from there.
