Yes.

  $ cat /etc/rpm/platform
  ia32e-redhat-linux

  $ uname -m
  x86_64

  $ rpm --eval "%{_libdir}"
  /usr/lib64

  $ setarch i686 uname -m
  i686

  $ setarch i686 rpm --eval "%{_libdir}"
  /usr/lib64

Wrong!

  $ rm /etc/rpm/platform
  $ setarch i686 rpm --eval "%{_libdir}"
  /usr/lib

Right.

This means that

  setarch i686 rpm --target i386 --rebuild *.src.rpm

puts the libraries in the wrong place (/usr/lib64) if /etc/rpm/platform exists
with the above contents.  What is the point of /etc/rpm/platform?
