I haven't thought about it from the koji perspective yet.

Maybe koji could then collect all the binary rpms including noarchs and then compare contents of noarchs for all arches. If the contents are same the build would pass otherwise fail. Then it would be safe to have multiple binary rpm sets and only one noarch set grabbed randomly from any arch without any naming conflict. This could also cover the kernel build, I don't know any details about it though.
