To edit each and every PKGBUILD for each and every package and every update appears like quite a big work.
If you use pacman-git (which a lot of people is using without too much hassle, actually it's really stable) you'll find the -A option:
-A, --ignorearch Ignore incomplete arch field in PKGBUILD
Here's the PKGBUILD: http://www.archlinux.org/~dan/pacman-git/pacman-git/PKGBUILD

Actually, this turned out to be a good advice. Thank you! I run into so many problem with ordinary pacman. After fixing some bugs in pacman-git, and implementing some extra features that I needed, it works good for me. And this arch thing, after sleeping on it, I found that it can be made to an advantage. I modified makeworld so that it only builds if it is in a supported arch, unless --ignorearch is specified. That way I can mark all files I need with my arch, and the rest will be ignored in build. I would call that a "good thing", since looking in the PKGBUILD files, all archs are not included in all packages. Now I just include i586 in the packages that are appropriate, and do a "makeworld" to compile only them and ignore the rest. Karolina
