As x86 (32-bit for i686->) is not primary architecture anymore [2] and we have at least one bug which blocks gprbuild [1] (and as the result almost whole stack) I start to think about dropping i686 from the list of GNAT_arches since F26 onward. Any ideas/objections?

First, did you mean to write "F27"? Because I thought we had a working GPRbuild in F26. Or is it necessary to rebuild it now, right after the release?
Have you reported this to GCC upstream? I don't think a report in Red Hat Bugzilla accomplishes anything more than tracking the bug. A report in GCC Bugzilla should reach some GNAT developers. We might not get a speedy fix for F27 though.
If only GPRbuild triggers the bug, and no fix arrives before the next soname change in libgnat, then we'll probably need to drop x86 from GPRbuild_arches at least temporarily, but we could keep it in GNAT_arches. If it turns out to be so bad that many things can't be compiled on x86, then we may need to drop it from GNAT_arches too.
