Should gcc pay heed to the uname-specified architecture? You wouldn't expect
setarch i386 to affect the behaviour of a cross compiler. rpmbuild already
does The Right Thing(tm) with selecting -m32 when performing --target=i386
builds, it's just a shame it doesn't get %{_lib} and %{_libdir} correct.
