No good, many PKGBUILDs have stuff like

if [ "$CARCH" = "i686" ]; then
  << do something >>
fi

in the build() section, where the something done is
usually something you want done in the i586 case too.

Better to straight out replace i686 by i586 in the
whole PKGBUILD.

find /var/abs -name PKGBUILD -exec sed -i -e
's|i686|i586|g' '{}' \;

Might also want to do

grep -R i686 /var/abs/*

just to be sure there are no i686's hiding in .install
files.

cheers.
