RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Tomas Hoger 2012-02-29 08:24:46 UTC 
Description of problem:
spec file for device-mapper-multipath does not use rpm macro %configure and invokes make without explicitly adding default rpm cflags.  As a consequence, build is not made with optimization level and protections expected to be the default for all packages.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
device-mapper-multipath-0.4.9-46.el6
Comment 2 Ben Marzinski 2012-03-04 02:50:42 UTC 
How do I explicitly add the default rpm cflags? the device-mapper-multipath package doesn't use autoconf or automake so there's not much point in using
%configure

Is it possible to run the %configure macro without actually needing it to do
any of the autotools work?
Comment 4 Ben Marzinski 2012-03-04 19:06:44 UTC 
It looks like all I need to do is pass "$RPM_OPT_FLAGS" to make from the spec file.

Something like

%build
make RPM_OPT_FLAGS="$RPM_OPT_FLAGS"

and then make sure that the Makefiles include those with the other CFLAGS.  Or is there something else that needs to be done?
Comment 5 Tomas Hoger 2012-03-05 09:35:31 UTC 
(In reply to comment #4)
> %build
> make RPM_OPT_FLAGS="$RPM_OPT_FLAGS"

Right, passing in RPM_OPT_FLAGS and adding them to CFLAGS in Makefile.inc should to the trick.
Comment 6 Ben Marzinski 2012-03-14 19:54:02 UTC 
device-mapper-multipath.spec now passes in RPM_OPT_FLAGS, and the Makefiles use it.  It did flush out a couple of issues, and I've cleaned up the code so that it doesn't issue warnings about some more things.
