Why do these packages failed to rebuild? I see they are asking for
some packages missing in their root.log file but then how can they got
initially built successfully?

I tried to just scratch-build nodejs-stream-spigot and it did not
fail. Then I tried all above scratch-builds and found only failure for
nodejs-ascii-tree, nodejs-rc, nodejs-registry-url. The last two failed
because I don't know how but nodejs-strip-json-comments is not
available in el6. I am not sure how it got untagged. I have now tagged
and requested this package in EL6 testing.

Could there have been some change in how ExclusiveArch is handled?

I've had a package in the el6 repo, statsd, which disappeared magically from the el6 repo. This happened somewhere Q1/Q2 2015. Co-maintainer noticed that "ExclusiveArch:  %{nodejs_arches} noarch" was being used while this macros is empty on el6. He updated it to use the correct arches and that solved the issue.

I still don't understand why it did work initially, but it might be the same reason as happening here?

Piotr

Yes good to add these macros.
