There was at least one noarch package in today's Rawhide updates, and I didn't see the usual "md5 mismatch" error when rebuilding the RPMs. Does this mean that they are now being built on a little endian arch (probably Intel), and if so, will this be done consistently from now on? (At least until xz is changed to generate the same compressed output on big endian.)

XZ upstream was informed of this problem and we have now inherited the fix.

That fix is not tagged into the release yet.
The noarch packages which didn't generate the error just happened to be built on x86 (~50% probability).
