Description of problem: When building for the armhfp architecture, some macros are undefined. This manifests e.g. via: xargs: invalid number "%{_smp_build_ncpus}" for -P option I think it is because /usr/lib/rpm/platform/armhfp-linux is not there and/or there is a missing alias. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 4.16.1.2-1.fc33, 4.16.1.2-3.fc34 Steps to Reproduce: 1. fedpkg clone python3.9 && cd python3.9 2. fedpkg build --nowait --scratch --arches armhfp Actual results: Build proceeds, but fails in/near /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/brp-strip-lto with: xargs: invalid number "%{_smp_build_ncpus}" for -P option Expected results: Build succeeds.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 34 development cycle. Changing version to 34.

I am able to reproduce this on Fedora 36.
There seems to be (at least) two bugs here: 1) We're merrily building for an unknown platform, armhfp is not something rpm knows about. Where did that name come from anyway? 2) Dependency on platform-specific stuff in macros (see https://github.com/rpm-software-management/rpm/pull/2266)

With ARM retirement in F37, I no longer care about this.
