This is only true if you build both architectures at the same time.
Ideally they should be the same between sparc and i386, so if you
build both sparc and i386 on the same day, yes, it gets rewritten.
It could be excluded from all but the first requested arch, but
up to now it was not an issue.

You will get collisions, so just throw away the packages from one arch
with archall.
