We have quite a few packages that have something like

ExclusiveArch: i386 ...

in the spec file. Those need a s/i386/i586/ to get properly build on 
rawhide now. It would be nice if the packages maintainer could do this 
adjustments on their own and queue a build afterwards, as the mass 
rebuild likely will result in lot of work for me already ;-)

BTW, the better fix might be to change

ExclusiveArch: i386 ...

into something like

ExcludeArch: x86_64 ppc ppc64 ia64 sparc64 sparc

as plague will do the right thing when rawhide changes to i686 in a few 
months or years. But OTOH it'll break if we start to support 
crazy_new_arch_nobody_dreams_of_yet in RPM Fusion...
