It was tested on arm since I reasoned if I could make that work,
everything else should follow too. You're right, these arm references
need fixing though. The main point is that we at least now know where
the values that need fixing are, making the job much easier!

I developed a strong dislike of rpm and yum when doing this as the
amount that is hardcoded is scary :(
