cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS
for x in *.spec
do 
	echo $x; rpmbuild --target i686 --quiet  -ba $x
done


It takes 39 hours 31 minutes 24.335 seconds.
However, that includes about 12 hours where it was waiting for user input. 
The imapd package was trying to patch pine I think.

It requires about 10 gigs of disk space:
[root at dax SPECS]# du -smc /usr/src/redhat/*
7691    /usr/src/redhat/BUILD
778     /usr/src/redhat/RPMS
1423    /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES
8       /usr/src/redhat/SPECS
784     /usr/src/redhat/SRPMS
10682   total


140 packages (of the 838 total) failed for uninvestigated reasons. (Listed 
below)

There is also the issue of packages being compiled with the currently 
installed i386 libraries. I think if one were to install from these, and 
recompile again that would help, but I'm not _that_ bored.
