I understand.
You may try 2.8.3 (or even todays 2.8.4) without compiling it by
taking precompiled one:
http://www.cmake.org/files/v2.8/cmake-2.8.3-Linux-i386.tar.gz
or
http://www.cmake.org/files/v2.8/cmake-2.8.4-Linux-i386.tar.gz

Untar them somewhere in your directory.
Then invoke the installed CMake.

I'm not sure it will work with CMake 2.8.3 but it would easier
for me to fix it in the maintained 2.8.x branch than trying to fix
the unmaintained 2.6.4.


Normally
set(CPACK_RPM_PACKAGE_ARCHITECTURE "i686")
should be enough.

If it is not try:

$ setarch i686
$ cpack -G RPM

this last method may work with CMake 2.6.4 too.
