Yet another problem: On a system with dual x86_64 and i386 libraries many 
rpms are installed by default for both architectures, an example is 
mozilla, the default install of FC3 contains these:

mozilla-1.7.3-17.x86_64.rpm
mozilla-chat-1.7.3-17.x86_64.rpm
mozilla-devel-1.7.3-17.x86_64.rpm
mozilla-dom-inspector-1.7.3-17.x86_64.rpm
mozilla-js-debugger-1.7.3-17.x86_64.rpm
mozilla-mail-1.7.3-17.x86_64.rpm
mozilla-nspr-1.7.3-17.i386.rpm
mozilla-nspr-1.7.3-17.x86_64.rpm
mozilla-nspr-devel-1.7.3-17.x86_64.rpm
mozilla-nss-1.7.3-17.i386.rpm
mozilla-nss-1.7.3-17.x86_64.rpm
mozilla-nss-devel-1.7.3-17.x86_64.rpm
mozplugger-1.6.2-1.x86_64.rpm

Here mozilla-nspr and mozilla-nss are for both architectures - the problem 
is: If one builds updates for x86_64 how does one easily determine what 
packages that also must be created for i386?


I have problems creating the i386 packages anyway, for example:

# setarch i386 rpmbuild --target i386 --rebuild mozilla-1.7.5-3.src.rpm

Goes like this:

Clearly something triggers setup for the wrong platform in this case, at 
configure looks in the lib64 directories.

This "works" though:

# rpmbuild --target i386 --rebuild mozilla-1.7.5-3.src.rpm

However the resulting rpm is not okay at all:

# rpm -qpl mozilla-nspr-1.7.5-3.i386.rpm
/usr/lib64/libnspr4.so
/usr/lib64/libplc4.so
/usr/lib64/libplds4.so


Life on the combined x86_64 / i386 architecture seems a bit confusing to me so far :-(
