Atleast the noarch rpms should be ok :) for the binary ones, I think we
might need to rebuild a bunch ( if not all ? ), down to the mtune and
optimisation flags being set in the rpm macros.

Something to trial and see how it goes, I dont think it would be a huge
overhead once the initial bootstrap is done.
