http://www.linux-mandrake.com/howtos/mdk-rpm/ The real story of the switches (ixxx) is that regardless of compiler flags, they default to the architecture of the build platform unless the build space (the toplevel directory of the logged-in builder) has a file called .rpmrc which sets up a mapping. So an i686 in the build means it was built on an i686 machine, not that it was optimized for or requires that architecture (on the install side, of course it _does_ assume that the architecture specified _is_ required unless you use --ignorearch in the install switches). Here is my .rpmrc file... I still have to do another procedure to assure that the rpms are built for the i586 because I am using 3 K7s and one P-2, and two PPros, and one VIA C3, and one K6. [tester@v5 tester]$ cat .rpmrc buildarchtranslate: i386: i586 buildarchtranslate: i486: i586 buildarchtranslate: i586: i586 buildarchtranslate: i686: i586 Civileme
