Who should be told that the following RPM seems damaged?

  ftp://ftp.trolltech.com/qtopia/source/redhat9/qtopia-free-1.6.2-1.i386.rpm

I believe that somebody stripped them using the i386 strip instead of
the arm-linux-strip.

[root@trillian lib]# file /opt/Qtopia/sharp/lib/libqpe.so.1.5.2
/opt/Qtopia/sharp/lib/libqpe.so.1.5.2: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, no machine, version 1 (SYSV), stripped

# --------------------------------------------------

Here's an example that shows how it can occur, first one useing
arm-linux-strip the next one using the i386 strip. The results are
exactly what is in the above RPM which is not usable for cross
compiling.
