for a single arch it is ok.  but some arches need 2  and need to be kept in 
sync.  then there are packages then need building for multiple subarches. 
generally glibc and openssl  though they are small and could be manually done.

I think a good way to attack the problem would be to create chains to build in 
koji.   use kojis api to see whats already built and setup and manage chain 
builds to get bootstrapped.

s390 and s390x, sparc and sparc64.

where there are 32 and 64 bit variants.
