That is strange, as the qm-2.2-1.i386.rpm package does indeed contain sigmask.so:

bash-3.00$ rpm -qpil qm-2.2-1.i386.rpm | grep sigmask.so
/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/qm/sigmask.so

right, after you erase the rpm these three items remain in the 'qm'
python package.

I can't comment on binary compatibility and rpm's behavior on these
machines. Can these machines run ELF 32-bit binaries compiled for
i386 ?
The fact that you managed to install the rpm seems to indicate
that they can. But may be there's some problem making rpm not
installing the extension file.

Alternatively, can you try to compile qmtest from the source package
on the target machine ?
