regarding source rpms

["VAIBHAV SHARMA" <getvaibhav hotmail com>]

Hi all,
I have a doubt regarding the source rpms for RHEL 2.1/3.

1. I have a source rpms for i386. I wanted to know why the rpms for RHEL 2.1 
(i386) contains patches for the other achitectures also? for eg: source rpm 
for i386 also contains architecture specific patches for ia64, x86_64, etc. 
Why is this so?

2. is it possible that a single source rpm may apply to multiple 
architectures?

3. How can I know the kernel source rpms available in link:
http://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/updates/enterprise/3/en/os/SRPMS/
is for which update (RHEL3 Update2/3/4) and its respective architecture ?

4. Also, from where I can download the sources for "IA32e" architecture?

TIA,
Vaibhav
