Build .rpm for X64_64 only

[arnaud gaboury]

I wrote a spec file to build a .rpm for an application working only on 64
bits machines. The package builds fine and is in this form:
myapp-version.fc25.x86_64.rpm

Now, $ fedpkg --dist f25 lint complains:
E: no-binary

Googling I found the package should be of the noarch architecture. Adding
BuildArch: noarch right below Source in my .spec file leaves me with:
myapp-version.fc25.noarch.rpm and  fedpkg lint doesn't complain anymore.

My question: is this the correct way to build my .rpm, using the noarch in
the spec file? Or shall I keep myapp-version.fc25.x86_64.rpm and ignore the
ling Error?

Thank you for help

EDIT : reading more on the Arch topic, I must add my application is built
with go. Rfering to Go packaging binaries[0], it seems I must use:
BuildArch: noarch
ExclusiveArch: %{go_arches} noarch

Is this correct?

No. You seem to refer to an application, not a library of source files.

How can it be 64-bit only *and* no binary?

If it only works on x86_64, then set
ExclusiveArch: x86_64

noarch is be for architecture independent stuff, e.g. scripts and 
documentation.
