First of all great work, thanks!

FWIW I did a build on aarch64 with few minor fixes and looks like it
all works fine. Some funky things that I've noticed so far:

* after build with -bb --short-circuit package has weird dependency:

    error: Failed dependencies:
            rpmlib(ShortCircuited) <= 4.9.0-1 is needed by poldek-libs-0.42.2-3.aarch64
            rpmlib(ShortCircuited) <= 4.9.0-1 is needed by poldek-0.42.2-3.aarch64

  if you're not doing %prep, %build or %install then you're... cheating
  and end up with this dep?

    build/build.c:
    
    int didBuild = (what & (RPMBUILD_PREP|RPMBUILD_BUILD|RPMBUILD_INSTALL));
    ...
    packageBinaries(spec, cookie, (didBuild == 0))
    
    
    build/pack.c:
    
    rpmRC packageBinaries(rpmSpec spec, const char *cookie, int cheating)
    ...
    if (cheating) {
        (void) rpmlibNeedsFeature(pkg, "ShortCircuited", "4.9.0-1");
    }

* libraries have build id symlinks, not sure what's that for:

* are we sticking to new patch fuzz level (0) or go back to patch
  default (2)?
