Thanks, but I did.  Using

$ setarch i386 rpmbuild --target i386 ...

gives me packages that contain files with /usr/lib64/... in their path.
>From the man page changes the output of uname.  If you look
in /usr/lib/rpm/*-linux/macros there will be a line

/usr/lib/rpm/x86_64-linux/macros
%_lib	lib64
/usr/lib/rpm/i386-linux/macros
%_lib	lib
/usr/lib/rpm/noarch-linux/macros
%_lib	lib64

It looks like this file gets sourced based on the host arch, not the
target arch, resulting in the above problem...

Dave
