[fedora-arm] need help to build zorba package for ARM

Kyle and Richard,

thank you very much for isolating the bug and for providing a patch. It
also makes zorba-3.0.0 build successfully on ARM. I really appreciate
your help.

Also, thanks for this information. The Cubietruck kit looks promising
and is available for about 90 Euros here in Germany. I think I'm going
to get one in the next couple of days. :)

Thanks again,
Martin
