Yum/rpm respect a platform setting in /etc/rpm/platform. So an alternative to this fix would be to create that file with the appropriate contents in the post-install.sh script before the 'yum install yum' step is run. It might look something like this...
# specify platform
arch=i386
if [ "${ARCH}" = "amd64" ] ; then
arch=x86_64
fi
echo $arch-redhat-linux >> ${prefix}/etc/rpm/platform
Note as a workaround you don't need to patch the setup to get it to work. Just
run the rinse command with linux32.
$ linux32 rinse --arch i386 --distribution centos-5 ...
