Does look pretty broken, but I don't see how my idea would have led to
all this other stuff failing.  Anyway, I guess the path of least
resistance is to install your ARM-specific packing patch.  It's
important to make sure that sizeof(ItemPointerData) is 6 if at all
possible, since it will cost you four or so wasted bytes in every
tuple header if it's not.  Will take care of it for RC2.
