Currently the system is an x86_64 box but a 32bit OS is installed.  At
the time putting it into service, mach couldn't build 64 and 32bit
packages correctly on the same host.  I don't believe we experienced
this problem under the current server.  New server will be the same
x86_64 box (dual opteron) this time installed w/ CentOS4 x86_64.

Hrm, thats interesting.  I'd recommend posting to the
fedora-buildsys-list and see if they have any input.
