Well, for starters, bento still builds packages that are marked BROKEN
to test that assumption.  You want NOT_FOR_ARCHS/ONLY_FOR_ARCHS or
IGNORE to avoid the build entirely.

I suspect your problem is related to testing for a specific file,
instead of testing based on ${ARCH} and ${OSVERSION} for systems that
are known to be broken.  Testing for the existence/non-existence of a
file can often cause problems because bento is a distributed build
system, so what holds true for the client build environment (alpha 4.x
in this case) is not true on bento itself (an i386 5.x machine).
