http://git.altlinux.org/people/at/packages/girar-builder.git
642af655  gb-task-check-noarch-i: force noarch by extensional equality
9bce38b3  gb-task-check-noarch-i: check for identical /usr/share part in arch pacakges
60af4a7c  gb-task-check-noarch-i: use rpmfile(1) to check noarch cpio contents
67f83c43  gb-task-check-noarch-i: use ls again
17d6d4ea  gb-task-check-noarch, gb-task-check-noarch-i: factored from gb-task-check-build-i

Examples.

1) Cannot package static binary into noarch package.
E.g. cannot make cpio-static noarch.

2) Arch packages must have identical /usr/share parts.
E.g. cannot use %doc to package binary files.

3) Cannot make arch package with identical files and deps.
E.g. cannot make arch perl module which should be noarch.

[at@people 17774]$ PATH=~/git.alt/girar-builder:$PATH gb-task-check-noarch-i 5
error (#5): perl-Net-IP-1.25-alt2.i586.rpm should be noarch
