Architecture compatibility question...

It appears 'arch_compat', or architecture compatibility is limited
to upward compatibility. For instance, in working with a HP PA-RISC
machine running HP-UX 10.20, a package built on a 'hppa2.0' machine
will NOT install on a 'hppa1.1' machine, yet a hppa1.1 build will install
on a hphp2.0 machine.
An excerpt from my rpmrc file shows:
arch_compat: hppa2.0: hppa1.2
arch_compat: hppa1.2: hppa1.1
arch_compat: hppa1.1: hppa1.0
arch_compat: hppa1.0: parisc
arch_compat: parisc: noarch
An excerpt from 'rpm --showrc' on a hppa2.0 machine:
ARCHITECTURE AND OS:
build arch : hppa2.0
compatible build archs: hppa2.0
build os : hpux10.20
compatible build os's : hpux10.20
install arch : hppa2.0
install os : hpux10.20
compatible archs : hppa2.0 hppa1.1 hppa1.0 parisc noarch
compatible os's : hpux10.20 hpux10.10 hpux10.01 hpux10.00 hpux9.07
hpux9.05 hpux9.04
An excerpt from 'rpm --showrc' on a hppa1.1 machine, using same rc file:
ARCHITECTURE AND OS:
build arch : hppa1.1
compatible build archs: hppa1.1
build os : hpux10.20
compatible build os's : hpux10.20
install arch : hppa1.1
install os : hpux10.20
compatible archs : hppa1.1 hppa1.0 parisc noarch
compatible os's : hpux10.20 hpux10.10 hpux10.01 hpux10.00 hpux9.07
hpux9.05 hpux9.04
*Notice the absence of 'hppa2.0' in the later, even though it uses the
same rc file.
Now, my question is: How can one build a package on a 'hppa2.0' machine
that will install on earlier, yet similar architectures (i.e. hppa1.1,
hppa1.0, etc.)?
