If you have the log file, can you send it to me in private or upload it
somewhere and give us the link?

Most definitely, this is caused by a failing buildinstall.
Try a:
$ grep buildinstall /path/to/log
And it's output will probably tell you what went wrong in that stage.

There's a huge bug in building i386 on a x86_64 platform. In this case,
it may be either of a popt.i386 package missing on the host (needs to be
installed), the non-chroot linking that anaconda does (sigh), or missing
libraries because of how anaconda installs these into a tree.
My recommendation at this point, is to use mock;
# yum install mock
Edit /etc/mock/site-defaults.cfg to bind mount /selinux into the chroot:
config_opts['plugin_conf']['bind_mount_opts']['dirs'].append(('/selinux/',
'/selinux/' ))
Then,
$ mock -v -r fedora-10-i386 init
$ mock -v -r fedora-10-i386 install comps-extras createrepo \
rhpl pykickstart livecd-tools anaconda-runtime squashfs-tools \
busybox-anaconda notify-python usermode pam python automake \
intltool gettext desktop-file-utils glib2-devel gcc \
cobbler koan deltarpm pygtk pygtk2-libglade gnome-python2-gconf \
system-config-kickstart jigdo python-virtinst git sudo \
spin-kickstarts mock
$ mock -v -r fedora-10-i386 shell
mock> git clone git://git.fedorahosted.org/revisor
mock> cd /revisor
mock> ./switchhere --yes
mock> autoreconf && ./configure
mock> rm -rf /var/lib/rpm/__db.00*
mock> ./revisor.py --cli [options]
I'm very sorry it has to be like this :/ I'm working on getting this
fixed but re-writing the building procedures anaconda has now isn't an
easy task :/
