In RHEL at least we'd want to rebuild the package anyway.  You can't
come along 4 months or 2 years later to request that another arch be
done of that build, unless you can generate a repodata set that matched
the original repodata set and all the original used packages to build
your package 4 months or 2 years ago.  Buildroot content changes over
time and you don't want 3 of your arches using one set of build tools
and your new arch using potentially vastly different ones.
