And to be fair, for this particular issue the build failure was on s390(x).  I 
don't think many of our community members has one of these to test with.  The 
solution for FC5 updates was to disable building on the non-shipped arches.  
Unfortunately we can't do that for rawhide / FC6 right now as those builds 
feed RHEL and RHEL has to ship on those platforms.
