Scary! I think this file is created by anaconda. So if it's wrong in
your xen0 and just gets copied as-is to the guests, there is probably
something very wrong elsewhere. (I don't claim to understand how or why
this file is used or needed by rpmbuild, sorry)
Yes, this is created by anaconda - it is, however, corect - ia32a is
the canonical architecture for Intel's x86_64 CPUs. The problem is
that the basic RPM / rpmbuild macros for some reason don't treat it
as a 64-bit arch - redhat-rpm-config fixes it for reasons I don't
understand, so I re-assigned it to rpm.
