-The next two bytes (8-9) form an int16 that indicates the architecture
-the package was built for.  While this is used by file(1), the true
-architecture is stored as a string in the Header.  See, lib/misc.c for
-a list of architecture->int16 translations.  In this case, 1 == i386.

No wonder, the arch translations have been in the declarative rpmrc config file for over twenty years. This is one of the docs thats *so old* it makes you wonder if its worth trying to patch it up...
