The Ogle src.rpm above isn't mine apparently. If it had "ExclusiveArch" set
to some value (like %{x86}) although Ogle can compile on other
architectures (it can at least on ppc and sparc AFAIK), then I'd consider
it a packaging bug. It's usually better to take the problem the other way
around and use "ExcludeArch" for specific architectures that are known to
have problems (i.e. s390, ia64...).
