In my own testing, not enough to bother. The performance differences between a 
--target i686 and --target i386 build are negligible. When using --with 
proc_opt, you might see a worthwhile improvement, but you obviously need to 
build with that on your own system.

Not sure. I didn't write the spec files for either, they're borrowed from Axel 
Thimm and Chris Peterson.

Actually, xorg-x11-devel Provides: XFree86-devel, and setting the BuildReq to 
XFree86-devel allows the same spec to be used on older distros with XF86.

Not sure what's going on there, it Just Works on my end...

For the plugins or the main package itself?

I suppose that would be better, though I don't build as root anyhow.

Ah, yes, those require some macros. I posted the required ones to the -users 
list a few weeks back, and they can be found in the atrpms-devel archives as 
well. I'd just hit gossamer-threads and search for _varlibdir. Sorry 'bout 
that, I only pushed the srpms up as an after-thought. :-)
