Our production server is running CentOS5 64-bit arch.

Because there are no RPM available currently for SQLite latest version (v3.7.3), I created RPM using rpmbuild the very first time by following the instructions given here. I was able to successfully create RPM for 64-bit (x86_64) architecture. But am not able to create RPM for 32-bit (i386) architecture. It failed with the following errors:

...

error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.73141 (%build)


RPM build errors:
    Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.73141 (%build)

This is the command I called: rpmbuild --target i386 -ba sqlite.spec

My question is, how do I create RPM for 32-bit arch from a 64-bit arch server?
