You missed the point here. There is no "exactarch=0" in up2date. There
is no exactarch option at all in up2date.
Right now, yum with "exactarch=0" do the trick (I'm happy :-)). Not
up2date.

This is not important for me. I'll build my new custom packages without
"--target athlon".

I was "anxious" about a potential bug (yum man page is a little
confusing).
