no, the basearch for arm arches is arm  there is a bug in yum thats causing 
the basearch to evaluate to armv5tel  not arm.  which means you cant have some 
packages optimised for say armv6l or armv7l  while the base is armv5tel.  Im 
going to look at making sure arm works right.  maybe its already done and the 
yum is too old.
