As soon as you have several different object formats at the same time
inside of than rpm, rpmbuild fails, no matter how you override.

Well, all packages you mention above are "host only" (==target in rpms'
nomenclature) packages. You manage to get this working by overriding all
tools being used to "build->host cross-tools".

Things get really ugly, when building native cross-tools (such as the
avr* tools) and when cross-rpmbuilding cross-tools (e.g. 
rpmbuild --target=<non-native-distro> avr-gcc).

In these cases you'll have different object formats inside of one rpm at
the same time.
