Yes.

This is what came from discussions on IRC last night/this morning (UK time).
There are two ways to do the target

1. There is a %define which does the trick
2. %configure --target=sparc86x

This method doesn't require any fixes to the configure script. The only
advantage (1) has over (2) is that for (2) you specify target twice.

If when you're building the application only mcs is called, then the final
application should be noarch and be placed in %_libdir (which should be /usr/lib
for noarch if I've understood things correctly).

The reason for libdir rather than datadir is that it is "less wrong" to put
things in there than datadir (this was found by comparing what happens upstream
and how SuSE, Ubuntu/Debian are doing things - spot considered them both to be
wrong, but libdir to be less wrong).

Obviously, everything needs to be ratified, but it looks like noarch for purely
C# apps will be the way to go.
