The same as in the getconf binary itself:

$ rpm -qpilv glibc-2.27-2.i686.rpm glibc-2.27-2.x86_64.rpm  | grep /usr/bin/getconf
-rwxr-xr-x    7 root    root            21988 Feb  5 11:55 /usr/bin/getconf
-rwxr-xr-x    4 root    root            30968 Feb  5 11:56 /usr/bin/getconf

- they apparently differ, so which one do you want to have/use? How is
THIS problem resolved?

They should be either separated to subpackages that are not subject of
multiarch installations, or handled/colored/whatever by package manager
during the install process.
