Getting rid of %{_isa} in src.rpm might be possible by adding a separate spec parse round with %{_isa} defined to %{nil}, but there's no way to generically fix this: you dont care what the value of eg %{_libdir} is either until at build-time, but nevertheless its value at the time of src.rpm generation ends up in src.rpm dependencies and there's no correct arch-independent substitute for it. Requires of a src.rpm can be unresolvable on a different architecture than was used to generate the src.rpm and there's no helping it, except by packaging policy.

I'll remove the %{_isa} from BuildRequires of rpm.spec, there's not much else to be done about it.
