Current packaging/rpm/rear.spec contains
https://github.com/rear/rear/blob/master/packaging/rpm/rear.spec#L33

ExclusiveArch: %ix86 x86_64 ppc ppc64 ppc64le ia64

which does not match well what
current doc/rear-release-notes.txt describes
https://github.com/rear/rear/blob/master/doc/rear-release-notes.txt#L2578

ReaR-2.6 is supported on:

  o Intel x86 type of processors
  o AMD x86 type of processors
  o PPC64 processors
  o PPC64LE processors

ReaR-2.6 may or may not work on:

  o Intel Itanium processors
  o ARM type of processors
  o IBM Z "s390x" type of processors

I think when we build ReaR packages for Intel Itanium "ix64"
then we should also build ReaR >= 2.4 packages for ARM
and additionally ReaR >= 2.6 packages also for IBM Z.
