Yes, I was about to say the same thing. In fact, the arch name (i386) gets deleted twice. First, when rpmbuild -bp is run. But this is not a problem by itself, because in the next step .config is copied from SOURCE which has the correct first line. Then the second time is when make menuconfig (or xconfig) is run as you noted. This is the problem. At this point, arch needs to be added back manually to .config as just you did. I really want to why menuconfig does not do it right.
I have done a bit of a search regarding this issue. Turns out the same problem was reported as early as Feb 2005 on a Fedora list. So this is not something new, nor CentOS specific. Bad news is that I have yet to find an answer for this. The only thing I saw in the search was the same manual editing of .config as we already did as a temporary solution. http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/Fedora/2005-05/0405.html I am still trying to figure out why rpmbuild -bp messes up the first line of .config. And of course this problem never surfaces if you run rpmbuild -ba in the beginning because the incorrect version of .config is created but *not* used in this operation.
