Hi. This is not correct and the problem doesn't have anything to do with
rpm. Different architectures (e.g. x86 vs. PPC) use very different
instruction sets, so you cannot just move an executable from one architecture
to another. You either need to have binaries built for your architecture or
have source code from which you can build the binaries yourself.
