I've implemented/adapted this from the openSUSE patches, patches added
at http://bugs.meego.com/show_bug.cgi?id=12724 - one patch for
meego-rpm-config, one for rpm.

It was tested in devel:hardfp:base and as seen on
http://download.meego.com/live/devel:/hardfp:/base/standard/i686/ and
no ill effects seen (unless if you apply rpm before meego-rpm-config,
as there will be unpackaged files in debuginfo else)
