Given that 'setarch i586' doesn't do anything different from 'setarch
i686', that's hardly surprising.

The cleanest thing would be to actually get 'setarch i586' to do
something nice for i586.  Then it wouldn't require hacks in the tool
chain at all.  Otherwise, it's going to be more difficult as the only
things that yum uses are uname -m and /etc/rpm/platform
