Well, let me dig into my e-mails (on Monday). I was writing based on my 
memory.
I recall I was working on that issue in January in preparation of AC1 
release, but was
not able to test it on real ev6 machine. It seemed that everything was 
ready in rpm source
code and during debugging I fooled CPU detection code that I had ev6 
machine and ev6 package
installed without problems. I could take a look the issue again if I had 
access to ev6 class machine
(Mike? :) ).

Thank you,
Sergey.
