Lee,
You will want to just upgrade the glibc to i386 (it is really i486, but that is another story).
All the other items that are i586 are OK, and should remain so. And you want to keep them.
If the glibc wasn't really i486 (which is a little more stable than i586 and as fast) then we would have modified the code to build the i586.
I've showed my problem before (yum crashed and packages are duplicated) but now I see that the same thing happened here:
$ rpm -qa --qf "%{name}-%{arch}\n" | grep glibc | sort | uniq -c 2 glibc-common-x86_64 2 glibc-i686 2 glibc-x86_64
The bad news it that's a live system but it's working fine for now. I didn't have time to try to fix that yet. It's an Athlon64 processor and I've exactarch=1.
