x86_64 only, right? The i386 one appears to be there.

It's odd that it's not mentioned in the announcement. Wonder if this is
intentional?

Hmmm. In 2.6.16-1.2115_FC4, the "buildsmp" flag in the spec file is on
by default, but then turned off for noarch, i586, ppc64m, ppc64iseries, s390,
s390x, sparc, and ia64.

In 2.6.17-1.2139_FC4, the flag is off by default, and then only turned on
for i686, sparc64, and ppc. Probably x86_64 should have been included in
that list but got left out by accident as the switch was made.

Possibly related to Dave Jones not getting a good night's sleep because his
bed collapsed underneath him? :)
