What does this rpmlint message mean? I don't understand why it's harmful to have patches only applying to particular architectures.

-----

ical.src: W: %ifarch-applied-patch Patch3: ical-2.2-ia64.patch
A patch is applied inside an %ifarch block. Patches must be applied
on all architectures and may contain necessary configure and/or code
patch to be effective only on a given arch.
