 I'm not sure. I guess unless there's some RPM reason for it not to
 work, I'd expect it to, at least for the same (or expected compatible)
 RPM version and same db library. And I guess as long as either both
 are 64-bit binaries or both are 32-bit binaries.
 
 However, since I asked a question in 2009 the PR should certainly be
 in feedback state. I guess I overlooked that then...
