And arch is not a command in the LSB; rpm is not a *command* in the LSB
either, though RPM packages are. And the LSB collapses all x86
architectures down to one name, and one arch-id:
"

All packages must specify an architecture of i486. A LSB runtime
environment must accept an architecture of i486 even if the native
architecture is different.

The archnum value in the Lead Section shall be 0x0001.
"

So, if you specify something else, it isn't conforming...and is not
guaranteed to install/run on all conforming IA32 platforms.

This is not a subject for either mailing list!
