Arch information is necessary for rpm. As what do for dnf-native in _configure_rpm function, nativesdk-dnf has to do the same work.
But the environment for nativesdk doesn't supply arch information. I think MACHINE_ARCH is suitable to supply arch information for nativesdk.
How about your Opinion?

Best regards
Lei
