Description of problem:
By mistake, I said:

   rpmbuild --rebuild --target x86_86 milter-greylist-1.7.4-1.src.rpm

and sure enough, got a package under RPMS/x86_86.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
rpm-4.3.2-21

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. rpmbuild --rebuild --target x86_86 milter-greylist-1.7.4-1.src.rpm
2.
3.
    

Actual Results:  Got a x86_86 package

Expected Results:  Error message: "No such architecture." Or at least
"Can't build for that architecture"

Comment 1 Jeff Johnson 2005-01-20 18:11:38 UTC
you are assuming that there are deep semantic interpretations
to rpm's interpretation of arch. this is demonstrably not true, 
as rpm already has 6 too many ppc* architectures than objectively
necessary.

so if you want to build for x86_86 (or amd64 or pentium5 or any
other arch string), have at!
