local / scratch builds with fedpkg

I have a modified package locally and want to install and test it. Since
it's a biarch package, I need to build the i686 version too. How?

A local build no longer seems to work for anything but the primary arch,
because it still configures for x86_64:

$ i386 fedpkg local --arch=i686
 ...
+ ./configure --build=x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
--host=x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu --program-prefix=
--disable-dependency-tracking --prefix=/usr --exec-prefix=/usr
--bindir=/usr/bin --sbindir=/usr/sbin --sysconfdir=/etc
--datadir=/usr/share --includedir=/usr/include --libdir=/usr/lib
--libexecdir=/usr/libexec --localstatedir=/var --sharedstatedir=/var/lib
--mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --disable-gtk-doc
--enable-static --with-runtime-libdir=../../lib

And scratch-build doesn't seem to work either. It won't let me build
unless I push.... but I thought the whole point of a scratch build was
to test stuff I'm not yet *ready* to push (and I'm not even the
maintainer of this package).

$ fedpkg scratch-build
