We are having a discussion on 

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=176434

about whether or not the Extras' plague-server will build i686,
i586, ... versions of a package if the ExclusiveArch passed to it is
%{ix86}, which according to my /usr/lib/rpm/macros will expand to the
following:

   i386 i486 i586 i686 pentium3 pentium4 athlon

It seems that Thorsten's plague-server actually builds an i686 version
of the package, while some packages in extras (like
athcool-0.3.11-3.fc5) use the %{ix86} macro and were only built as i386
in extras.

Would someone with more knowledge of Extras' plague-server enlighten us?
