I'm all for it but a small warning here: I think that a lot of x86_64
packages will fail due to hardcoded RPATH -- I saw it in a lot of
different packages in the past. Some were fixed, a lot not, because I
considered fixing x86_64 packages for extras was more important at this
point then to fix all appearances of hardcoded RPATH.

Maybe we should wait with this after FC4 and FC4 extras are out?
Otherwise a lot of x86_64 packages that were in FC3 extras might be
missing in FC4 extras. Or we could modify the script so it warns only
for the moment. After FC4, we could modify it again so the build fails
again if it finds a hardcoded RPATH.
