mock will use its own versions of yum config's to build the chroots and
rpms - so you can configure it to ignore all non x86_64 and non noarch
packages, which works fine.

You can then build either i386 or x86_64 rpm's using mock. BUT, some
packages that look at machine type and kernel arch running etc will fail
for i386 builds on a x86_64 system, either in mock or any other form of
chroot under x86_64.
