Deploying noarch builds to specific arch's

Hi,

I am attempting to build a package (checkstyle) with IcedTea. Currently,
Fedora allows building of noarch packages with IcedTea and shipping them
on all archs (where they run via IcedTea, or via gcj in interpreted
mode).

The problem is that IcedTea is only available on x86/x86_64. Since my
package is noarch, koji randomly distributes it between ppc/x86/x86_64,
and when it goes to ppc, the build fails.

While IcedTea is not a strong requirement for checkstyle, this problem
will be encountered by any package that is to be built with IcedTea..

Deepak
