RPM explicitly complains about /usr/bin/scms, and if it sees a conflict in
/usr/bin that is evidence of the file not being a binary executable:

  $ file /usr/bin/smcs 
  /usr/bin/smcs: Bourne shell script text executable

In that case, afaik, the file must be identical on all platforms. But
it isn't:

$ diff -u smcs.i386  smcs.x86_64
