Please try to identify version of rpm in use or I'm gonna go nuts.

Here's the current text reported (you are using an older version of  
rpm):

     case RPMPROB_BADPLATFORM:
         rc = snprintf(buf, nb,
                 _("package %s is intended for a %s platform"),
                 pkgNEVR, str1);

The only occurrence on HEAD of BADPLATFORM is in lib/depends.c.

And the platform test is always avoided for srpm's:

     /*
      * Always add source headers.
      */
     isSource =
         (headerIsEntry(h, RPMTAG_SOURCERPM) == 0 &&
          headerIsEntry(h, RPMTAG_ARCH) != 0);
     if (isSource) {
         oc = ts->orderCount;
         goto addheader;
     }

That's what I see anyways.

So what version of rpm?
