Is there any reason why those packages restrict arch to 386 and are
not
compatible with athlon, or is that a bug? I'd like to be able to rebuild
them. Would you like me to file a bugzilla on each one?
acpid-1.0.2-6.src.rpm
dietlibc-0.24-3.src.rpm
epiphany-1.0.7-1.src.rpm
fedora-release-1.90-11.src.rpm
festival-1.4.2-20.src.rpm
gaim-0.75-2.1.0.src.rpm
grub-0.94-2.src.rpm
libunwind-0.96-2.src.rpm
ltrace-0.3.29-2.src.rpm
memtest86-3.0-4.src.rpm
mkbootdisk-1.5.1-1.src.rpm
mozilla-1.6-1.src.rpm
openCryptoki-2.1.3-3.src.rpm
prelink-0.3.0-21.src.rpm
redhat-lsb-1.3-1.src.rpm
reiserfs-utils-3.6.11-2.src.rpm
syslinux-2.08-2.src.rpm
system-config-boot-0.2.1-1.1.src.rpm
system-config-netboot-0.1.3-2.1.src.rpm
This has been repeated many times in the past. The vast majority of
software have zero or negligible performance benefit from compiling to
athlon. The compiler flags used to build all packages are already set for
i686 optimization. Generally it is a very inefficient use of time to
rebuild packages for your specific arch as it takes far more time to do so
than any speed benefit you will gain. This being said however, nothing
stops you from taking the SRPMS and doing what you wish to them. You have
the freedom of choice with Open Source.
I would suggest against reporting this kind of "problem" to Bugzilla as
there are already thousands real issues there that are actual problems.
