On recent and well behaved [*] SRPMS and recent [*] versions of rpm,
you can say
rpm -ba --target i686 tcsh.spec
and have it build for 686. And no, it doesn't auto detect the highest
target type. And there is a a global config file, but I can't figure
out how to specify default target.
YMMV.

[*] If it doesn't work, then obviously it's either not well behaved
and/or recent. :-)
