[mharris at people mharris]$ yum-arch -h
Directory of rpms must exist
Usage:
yum-arch [-v] [-z] [-l] [-c] [-n] [-d] (path of dir where 
headers/ should/does live)
   -d  = check dependencies and conflicts in tree
   -v  = print debugging information
   -vv = even more verbose output
   -q  = make the display more quiet
   -n  = don't generate headers
   -c  = check pkgs with gpg and md5 checksums - cannot be used with -n
   -z  = gzip compress the headers [default, will be deprecated as an option]
   -l  = use symlinks as valid rpms when building headers



I guess using '-s' is not an option for me...
