endian access on RPM databases

[Aamer Akhter <aakhter gmail com>]

This is a bit of an odd question, but does endianness matter (ie will
it break anything) wrt to the RPM database.

I'm thinking about using RPM to manage packages for a cross-platform
system, but linux (i386) and solaris (sparc) machines will be
writing/using the same rpm database. Thru different binaries of
course.

Has anybody else ever attempted this type of thing before?

thanks,
