There is a bug here. The /build/ process relies on a path that is arch specific in order to /build/ the noarch package. Usually the things we need to build are in a static location in /usr/bin or /usr/libexec rather than directly in %_libdir, but it is what it is. Just because the /build/ process relies upon something that is arch specific doesn't make the end result arch specific as well, or else every package made of scripted language code would be arch specific since the interpreter itself is arch specific. -- Jesse Keating Fedora -- Freedom² is a feature! identi.ca: http://identi.ca/jkeating
