Sounds like a bug; do the builder logs show anything, i.e. does the
server farm the job out to builders?  Note that as of Jun 21st, I
committed a fix to the builders that was causing stuff that needed
setarch to not work correctly, but that doesn't sound like this problem.

If the job doesn't go to the builder, there are some known issues where
plague will just not farm the job out to anyone if the builder config
files aren't just right.  The builder doesn't think it supports a
particular target and so of course the server won't try to build on that
target.  Try double-checking your plague-builder targets config files
and make _sure_ they support every architecture you want to build on
(i386, i686, i586, etc).

I'll see if I can look a bit more over the weekend.
