How does RPM know what architecture we're on?

Hi all,
We recently moved an FC3 system from a box running an i586 processor
to one running an i686. We then upgraded the kernel, glibc and ssl stuff
to the i686 versions. We had to use the --ignorearch flag to get it done.
Now, even when we upgrade any of those packages, yum wants to install the
i386 versions, and rpm says:
package glibc-2.3.5-0.fc3.1 is intended for a i686 architecture
package nptl-devel-2.3.5-0.fc3.1 is intended for a i686 architecture
Obviously, Anaconda puts info somewhere describing the architecture
of the installed system. Any ideas?
TIA.
