Changing default build arch

[Andre Costa <brblueser uol com br>]

Hi all,

I have an Athlon-XP box, and I would like to generate code for the
athlon architecture by default. I tried putting this on my /etc/rpmrc
file:

arch_canon: Linux:  athlon  1
buildarchtranslate: Linux: athlon
optflags: athlon -O2 -march=athlon-xp

but this doesen't keep me from having to type '--target athlon' all the
time to avoid creating i386 RPMS by default (I know, I could create an
alias to rpmbuild that would force the desired target, but I do believe
I should be able to properly configure RPM).

Here are the first lines 'rpm --showrc' spits:

ARCHITECTURE AND OS:
build arch            : i386
compatible build archs: athlon i686 i586 i486 i386 noarch
build os              : Linux
compatible build os's : Linux
install arch          : athlon
install os            : Linux
compatible archs      : athlon i686 i586 i486 i386 noarch
compatible os's       : Linux

RPMRC VALUES:
macrofiles            :
/usr/lib/rpm/macros:/usr/lib/rpm/athlon-linux/macros:/et
c/rpm/macros.specspo:/etc/rpm/macros.prelink:/etc/rpm/macros.solve:/etc
/rpm/macr
os.up2date:/etc/rpm/macros:/etc/rpm/athlon-linux/macros:~/.rpmmacros
optflags              : -O2 -march=athlon-xp
[snip]

I feel I might be close to the definitive solution, but I am still
missing something... I am running RH 7.1 (heavily customized) and RPM
4.1

TIA

Andre
