noarch should mean (in my head at least it means) that the files
inside the package are architecture independent.
You can create noarch package that will install correctly in both
x86_64 and i486. For example inside doinst.sh you can check
distribution (either uname or /etc/slackware-version) and put files
where they should go. I'm not saying that this is right way to do, but
it is possibile.
