Force optimization (-O1) when building

+++ This bug was cloned for RHEL 5 from Fedora Bug #236535 +++

When using distutils to build a Python module into an RPM, by calling from the module's source directory
   python setup.py bdist_rpm

the procedure will fail before writing the RPM, with
   error: Installed (but unpackaged) file(s) found

followed by a list of the *.pyo files that are compiled during the build process.

This has been fixed upstream in Python (http://bugs.python.org/issue1533164) by forcing optimization during the build (-O1).  I've attached the needed patch for RHEL 5, which makes the same simple change as upstream.  I verified that this resolved the error and allowed RPMs to be built successfully.

Due to non-critical nature of this bug, the engineering will not address it in the current lifecycle stage of RHEL 5. Feel free to reopen if it keeps causing problems.
