Reorganization of src.rpm: not arch agnostic

Hi Jesse,

while putting together these src.rpms under one folder was a good
thing, it uncovers an issue with conditional and macro-dependent
BuildRequires, i.e. they become static and reveal the arch in nasty
ways.

For instance the current gcc src.rpm as it will be shipped with FC5
will only install (aka extract) on x86_64 systems. Other archs will
need to use --nodeps.

Not something one can really fix, not even really work around it in a
clean fashion, but I'd rather give a heads-up to such ugly beasts. :/
