There is a chance that changes for ARM/ARMEL do exist in RPM source repositories too. Usually the package maintainers supports ALL platforms and if somebody needs yet-another platform then they include that fixes as well and with thanks to proposed changes. I never seen the situation then changes to some platform doesn't go it's way to original source... besides the very platform-specific applications, of course.
