rpm
Note; this can be improved by patching rpm directly and rebuilding, however just to get things running for the moment it is fine.

= Building packages =

in most cases build your packages for armv5... (not everything works when built as armv7l) rpmbuild -ba --target armv5tel dejagnu.spec

= Experimental armv7l =

Note; this is just my first pass at rebuilding all rpm's, so things are bound to break, and they will, and they have. So only dive in head first if you don't mind.
