As someone else mentioned don't do that.

Looks like the solution to me.  Have you check the .spec file in Rawhide
to see if this has been fixed?

It's not that big of a bug.  The issue happens in one specific case, right
when you install glibc.  In most normal cases the i686->i386 install
shouldn't happen.  If for some reason you need to do this (ie moving an
installed hard drive to a different box) the fix is in bugzilla.  It
doesn't make much sense to push out a glibc update to fix a low occurrence
install bug.  I would expect that the rawhide version has this fixed, and
any new security updates for Shrike will probably include a fix.
