The %{_sysconfdir} macro is overridden by per-platform macros
-14: _sysconfdir /etc
Edit /etc/rpm/platform, and change "ia32e" to "x86_64" is one fix.
Otherwise
ln -s x86_64-linux /usr/lib/rpm/ia32e-linux
The symlink was what I thought of, too.
I did:
ln -s /usr/lib/rpm/x86_64-linux/ /usr/lib/rpm/ia32e-linux
and now it works:
# rpm --eval %{_sysconfdir}
/etc
Thx

This bug is likely fixed (by setting arch as "x86_64" from --target) in rpm-4.4.7-0.15.

Description of problem: rpmbuild macro %{_sysconfdir} points to /usr/etc because rpm looks for /usr/lib/rpm/ia32e-linux/macros Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rpm-4.3.3-13_nonptl rpm-build-4.3.3-13_nonptl How reproducible: always, try to rebuild a src rpm with this macro or: # rpm --eval %{_sysconfdir} /usr/etc Steps to Reproduce: 1. # rpm --eval %{_sysconfdir} 2. /usr/etc 3. Actual results: Expected results: /etc Additional info: The macro %{_sysconfdir} is defined in a couple of files under /usr/lib/rpm/ always with the filename macros But here on the 64bit version it tries to open: open("/usr/lib/rpm/ia32e-linux/macros", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) so the wrong path /usr/etc from /usr/lib/rpm/macros is used. I did an strace: # grep macros strace_rpm open("/usr/lib/rpm/macros", O_RDONLY) = 3 read(3, "#/*! \\page config_macros Default"..., 8192) = 8192 open("/usr/lib/rpm/ia32e-linux/macros", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/etc/rpm/macros.jpackage", O_RDONLY) = 3 read(3, "#\n# RPM macros for Java applicat"..., 8192) = 6657 open("/etc/rpm/macros.prelink", O_RDONLY) = 3 open("/etc/rpm/macros.solve", O_RDONLY) = 3 open("/etc/rpm/macros.specspo", O_RDONLY) = 3 open("/etc/rpm/macros.up2date", O_RDONLY) = 3 open("/etc/rpm/macros", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/etc/rpm/ia32e-linux/macros", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) stat("/root/.rpmmacros", 0x7fbfffe180) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
