That's about right. Generally, .noarch would be used for stuff that
isn't binaries (for example, horde and IMP, since they're just
platform-independent PHP scripts). Binaries, actual executable code
compiled for a particular processor, would be tagged for that
processor, as with .i386. Code for i386 should also run on i[456]86.
If, in the compiling process, you built code that's specific to,
say, i686, and you're trying to run it on i486, you might have
problems.
