I suspect here you are overthinking things. If a package is only a
noarch build, it could be built on any arch buildroot, potentially
including i686. qemu, however, is an archful build, and the noarch
subpackages are built on all architectures. koji then takes the noarch
rpms from one of the builds after checking that the contents inside
the rpms on all builds match. If you add ExcludeArch %{ix86} to the
spec it will never be built in an i686 buildroot.Dennis On Wed, Oct 1, 2025 at 12:39 PM Daniel P.
