So, that means that anything arch specific listed in RDEPENDS will
always cause the package to rebuild even if there were no changes in the
package itself nor in the RDEPENDS packages? Is this really the desired
behaviour?

I'd expect that if nothing has changed, nothing should get rebuild.. I
often saw a huge number of packages being rebuilt and could never
explain why this was happening, now it's becoming clear that probably
some of them had some RDEPENDS set.

If you say it's not a bug - ok, now I at least know what's happening.
Still, imho it would be nice and it would speed up things if only stuff
that has really changed or stuff that depends on other things that have 
really changed gets triggered.

Kind regards,
Sergey
