The SRAM P5 is available in 122mm width as are the Sturmey Archer 5 and 8 speed hubs if you do not want to cold set your track ends spacing, or cannot do so due to the frame being CF or Alumiinum. All the other 7 speed and greater hubs are intended for 130mm spacing or 135mm.

I have the SRAM P5 installed on a track end frame with 120mm spacing and it works fine. The main thing is that running the shift cable with a clean appearing routing can be a hassle unless the frame is equipped with cable guides for it. BD is offering the SA 5 speed hub on their Mercier OS frame with 120mm dropouts. That frame incudes braze-ons for shifter cable routing.

SA offers a number of OLD widths for their iGH units, alll the way from 110mm to 135mm. Most of their hubs are shown as available in these multiple widths though I am not sure of actual availability in the USA for all the listed width versions of a given hub.
