We successfully build RPM 4.2.1 against BeeCrypt 3.1.0 (with the
patch http://cvs.openpkg.org/openpkg-src/openpkg/beecrypt.patch
applied) on all major platforms, including FreeBSD 4.9 and 5.1. But
for portability we disable the assembly stuff on most platforms (see
http://cvs.openpkg.org/openpkg-src/openpkg/openpkg.spec under "build
BeeCrypt library" for details). The above "swapu32" is one of the
functions which are usually provided in assembly form...
