There's an unknown issue with anaconda, where it creates to many
symbolic links in the initrd.img (ld-linux.so links back to itself),
when an i386 install dvd is being built on a x86_64 system. Hence the
suggestion to build in mock.

This doesn't make any sense, unless the installation of packages in the
"mock -v -r fedora-11-i386 install" fails. I'm thinking anaconda-runtime
is no longer available, so try and omit that.
