glibc-2.5-75 has the line %define systemtaparches %{ix86} x86_64 ppc ppc64 s390 s390x from RHEL-6 but for RHEL-5 there must be also ia64: %define systemtaparches %{ix86} x86_64 ppc ppc64 s390 s390x ia64
Do you speak about glibc.spec file? Because there's the 'systemtaparches' definition, not in binutils.spec.
Thanks for the notice, yes, moving FailedQA to glibc Bug 711924, my fault.
