I'm attempting to build OpenPKG release 1.3 on OS X/Darwin, and it builds
with one minor hack in gzip to keep it from trying to use the assembler.
Unfortunately once it's built, rpm fails when attempting to rebuild or
install SRPMS with the error:
error: unpacking of archive failed: cpio: Bad/unreadable header
If I run ``rpm2cpio $srpm | cpio -itv'' it reads the archive successfully.
I've looked at the cpio code in /tmp/openpkg-1.3.0/rpm-4.0.2/lib, but don't
see anything that just jumps out at me. I thought it might be an endian
problem, but it doesn't appear that's the problem (I pulled the ENDIAN
tests out of the verify.c routine, into a small test program which worked
fine).
I've been running a non OpenPKG version of rpm-4.0.2 on OS X with no
problems using these patches (which don't seem to do anything to cpio
related code except possibly the LIBMISC additions in a couple of
Makefile.in files).

Does anybody have any suggestions or solutions to this before I go digging?
