Not sure here, or else uname should report different values. You could
do it based on /proc/cpuinfo for example, but I'm not sure that is the
correct solution.

It's definitely wrong. Just because Mandrake is built for i586 doesn't
mean we want to force every arch to i586 (or i686). In the case of
Athlon, it may actually be a downgrade. Personally, I force mine to
build for athon in my ~/.rpmrc, but it'd be nice to see a fix system-wide.
