No; you only need mock and builder configs for base architectures like
i386, x86-64, ppc, sparc, sparc64, ppc64, etc.

Ok, can you apply the attached patch?  cd to /usr/share/plague/server
and use 'patch -p0 < patchfile'.  Enqueue the WhoAmI SRPM and let me
know what it prints out.  I tried running a noarch package through this
morning and it seemed to go through fine; plague decided that 'noarch'
was the only arch it was going to build for, even with i686 in the
optional_arches for that target.

noarch shouldn't be in optional_arches, but if it's not working
correctly when you remove it there's some other issue.
