Explode the RPM, edit the spec file, rebuild.  Assuming a sane build setup:

    $ rpmbuild --recompile -bp --target i686 package-version.src.rpm

replace "i686" with your desired target architecture, and
package-version.src.rpm with the name of the rpm to alter.

    $ cd path/to/rpmbuild/SPECS

Edit the specfile.

    $ rpmbuild -ba specfilename
