What exactly do you mean by "proper", here? Is it just the endianness
suffix that you need?

I think we're be better off changing scripts/package/Makefile to map
UTS_MACHINE into whatever rpm requires, just like scripts/package/builddeb
already does this for .deb (which I think ends up broken with your patch
applied).
