I would also expect that it could be compiled natively on said ARM 
platform.  ;-)

I don't know.

But I have two thoughts.

1)  Do you still want to scan for the same viruses for other platforms? 
If so, I'd think you would want the same definitions.  You would also 
want additional definitions for the local platform.

2)  Are the virus definitions subject to big-endian vs little-endian 
byte ordering?  Or are they agnostic?

I don't know.  But I hope to learn by watching and reading this thread.
