I agree with your point that placing all targets in a single binary RPM
isn't an ideal solution. While working on this framework I thought about
the possibility to split everything in per-target RPM's, but I got stuck
at the filelist part. I couldn't think of a method to easily indicate
that all files using %{_mingw32_...} macros have to end up in a mingw32-
package.

Have you got any idea how we can overcome this without introducing a lot
of duplicate instructions in the .spec files?

Kind regards,
