Mock issue with ifarch BuildRequires

[Gianluca Sforna]

I am trying to run the tests included in the BuildBot package during
the RPM build, and one of the tests requires darcs, which is built in
Fedora ExclusiveArch %{ix86} x86_64 ppc alpha.
Now, I'm adding to buildbot's spec[1] file an ifarch like:

%ifarch %{ix86} x86_64 ppc alpha
# darcs ExclusiveArchs
BuildRequires:  darcs
%endif

but it seems darcs is never installed in the buildroot [2]

am I just doing something stupid or there's a bug somewhere?

What arech are you building the srpm on?  if its not one of the ifarch'd 
arches it wont be in the BR's for the srpm.  thats part of why we create the 
sroms on th ebuild arch in koji.

Theory: A spec file's BuildRequires become the src.rpm's Requires. So,
typically, one rebuilds the src.rpm from the spec file per target build
architecture prior to resolving the build deps for that target-specific
src.rpm.

However, your package is "BuildArch: noarch", so the %ifarch never
holds true when processing the src.rpm's Requires for target "noarch".
