Jeff, please try this using your rpm:
rpm -bb i386 --target somespec.file?

This could be bug in PLD rpm 4.0.4. My rpm builds by default for
athlon (athlon.rpm) but:

[misiek@arm SPECS]$ rpm -bb --target=i686 usbutils.spec 
--target=i686: unknown option
[misiek@arm SPECS]$ rpm -bb i386 --target usbutils.spec 
Building target platforms: i386
Building for target i386
Executing(%prep): /bin/sh -e /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.70618
Patch #0 (usbutils-no_external_getopt.patch):
