OK, I can perhaps see why glibc-devel, but the rest? And why i686
packages on an x86_64 machine?

Thanks.

to support -m32, probably

curl is dependency of std.net.curl, some of other dependencies

I know that libcurl is needed. Perhaps the others are pulled in by libcurl.

glibc-devel.i686 is needed by DMD to successfully build 32bit executables.
The rest is probably there because someone made a mistake. libcurl should be 
the only other dependency there, I think.
