Replace one command with another during make build

Question

I build some application with cmake and make all package commands. During the build the rpmbuild program is implicitly called by cpack as part of the build. I need it to call setarch i686 rpmbuild instead of just rpmbuild. How do I accomplish this in a neat way without ugly hacks?

Answer 1

Use a shell alias. For example:

alias rpmbuild="setarch `uname -m` rpmbuild"

Or whatever you need on the right side.
