And you will break building the packages as non-root. This is not the
right answer at all. The only package which should ever have to be
built as root is a package containing device nodes (and even that
requirement should be going away real soon now).

The UP/SMP mechanism already present should work fine (actually, are you
installing to /lib/modules now or still to /usr/vice/etc/modload?) In
addition to that, you can just build multiple times using --target (eg,
--target=i586, --target=i686) and add proper %ifarch macros to the
specfiles so that the only things which get built with the non-base
architectures is the kernel modules package. Normal RPM magic then
applies as far as getting the right modules.
