Since I don't have an i386 installation of Fedora, I am trying to

set of i386 RPMs on my x86_64 machine using:
rpmbuild --target=i386 --rebuild foo.src.rpm
or
rpmbuild --target=i386 -bb foo.spec
However, it is expanding %{_libdir} to /usr/lib64.
Am I doing something wrong? I'm tempted to use --define="_libdir /usr/lib"
for a quick fix, but I was under the impression that building i386 packages
would have adjusted the path definitions accordingly.
Despite the technical issues with %_libdir, I think building i386
on x86_64 is doomed to fail at some point anyway, due to configure
scripts finding the wrong libraries, etc.
For simple packages it might work, but for more complex things I
wouldn't bet on it...
