ls -l /lib/libdbus-1.so.3.4.0

The library itself is small.  That is a standard Fedora build.  There
are no bindings shipped with D-Bus since 1.0 came out as they have all
been split out.  You need to disable tests, checks, asserts and verbose
mode though we discourage turning those off during testing and I belive
we leave either checks or assets on.  I can't quite remember without
looking at our .spec files.  Have you checked out what the maemo
platform does?  They run on arm.
