I can see two possible fixes for this issue in general: (a) Set BuildArch i386, so it only builds on i386. This is nasty because the output package ends up as i386, which it isn't (rpm doesn't know the difference between build architecture and host architecture). [What's the difference between BuildArch and ExclusiveArch?] Or: (b) Work with upstream to remove the need to run executables during the build. This (b) seems like a rare case where this project will benefit cross-compilers in general, because with cross-compilation you should never need to run built executables during a build. For example if the target architecture was some ARM embedded chipset, there might not even exist an emulator to run the executables.
