ix86 -> arm hasn't been tried, and is likely the most significant.
Could try on ix86 first? Then arm, then mixed ... I'll
fix whatever issues there are everywhere, just, first things first.
Note that all integer values in *data* are now in network order.
Previously only the "join keys" were byte swabbed, and were in
"native endian" rather than "big endian" (which makes btree
access less than optimal on ix86, and is in fact the primary
reason for having to do the conversion that I've been avoiding
in RPM for years, sigh).

FYI: if you edit /usr/lib/rpm/macros, and add "debug", you will see every
access spewed out. E.g.
- %_dbi_config_3_Packages %{_dbi_btconfig}
+ %_dbi_config_3_Packages %{_dbi_btconfig} debug
There's also --rpmdbdebug but that's unlikely to be useful to you. Sill
the " ++ " and " -- " are reference count++ and count-- messages.
Almost all rpm objects have (at least) the reference count tied to --rpmfoodebug
(though the options don't always have rpm* and are hidden from --help).
