That is not possible. When you do things like rpm -qi or rpm --rebuild --target=i686,
that kind of info can only come out of a spec file. Things like -qi could possibly
(albeit error-prone) auto-generate the info part of spec files, but I know that in
alot of RPMs, the archetechture differences are in the spec file. For instance, if you
compile it for athlon with --target=athlon, the athlon optimizations are listed in the
spec file with if...else statements. Only a human could know what he wants done there,
I think.
I suppose I could be wrong though, if someone has worked alot of AI into RPM ;-)
If I am wrong let me know, that would be cool :-)
