IIRC the --target option only works when you've installed the srpm via
rpm -ivh <name-of-srpm>.srpm, which will place the actual source files
(plus any patches) under /usr/src/OpenLinux/SOURCES/ and a <name>.spec
under /usr/src/OpenLinux/SPECS.
To use the --target option cd to the directory containing the .spec
file(s) and then as root issue:
rpm -bb --target=ix86 <name>.spec
you might want to first look in the RPMS directory first to make sure
that the target exists, if not create it and carry on.
please note: it's been a very long time since I've worked with RPMS so,
be warned, YMMV and RTFM just to be sure =)
