The problem arises when you try to rebuild gcc with mock on x86_64. x86 
versions are needed to rebuild for x86_64, if I am understanding this 
correctly.....

This prevents gcc from being built with mock (in its current 
state/config)...

 From mock's root.log of gcc-4.1.0-17.src.rpm on x86_64:

Executing /usr/sbin/mock-helper yum --installroot

I hope I am understanding this correctly :)
