Since bdist_rpm implies RPM-only, how about using the default architecture from the rpmrc file?
'Cause I totally forgot about the rpmrc file, of course! Hmmm... I don't see anything in my /etc/rpmrc which would set the architecture string, though. Does RPM just figure it out for the current platform?
Also, is there any sort of standard emerging for better platform strings in RPM filenames? "foo-1.3.4-1.i386.rpm" doesn't really cut it if you want to live in a world where Solaris, Linux, and *BSD all use RPMs. (Yes yes, I know they *don't*, but it's a nice idea...)

PS. as I mentioned earlier, the "noarch" distinction is easily handled: "if not self.distribution.has_ext_modules()" somewhere in the bdist_rpm command.
