CMake 2.6.4 is ancient...and the 2.6.x branch has been stopped.
Would you be able to try 2.8.3
see http://www.cmake.org/files/v2.8/ ?

In order to have maximum compability, it has been decided that we should provide a statically linked 32bit executable. It is not necessary to provide this in an rpm of course, but it would be nice if it was possible.

It should be, and it should work because you build static.
I do not remember the state of CPack RPM in 2.6.4 so I have to dig it out
in order to see how you can enforce the appropriate arch.

Before I do that,
could you tell me if you can afford to use CMake 2.8.3 ?
