I think this package provides 32 bits library compatibility for 64 bits
libraries. This is only needed on 64 bits systems.

On i586 directory there are only "postgresql-libs-8.3.5-1.10.i586.rpm"
and "postgresql-devel-8.3.5-1.10.i586.rpm" packages.

On 32 bits systems there is no need for "32 bits library-devel
compatibility" as they are "natively" incorporated :-)
