Does anyone remember why that was needed? It's just backwards compatibility. seabios is a noarch package because you can use it to run emulated x86 virtual machines on non-x86 architectures. At the same time, we wanted the build to happen on an x86 machine so that was done via the empty package + ExclusiveArch. Fedora builds of seabios and other firmware support cross compilation these days though, so you don't need the hack anymore. You only need to allow arch dependent binaries in noarch packages. Also, please install the binaries in /usr/share, not /usr/lib.
