+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #187594 +++ Description of problem: BuildRoot value is hardcoded in spec to /var/tmp/gcc-root. It should be something like %{_tmppath}/%{name}-%{version}-root. -- Additional comment from jakub on 2006-04-03 07:18 EST -- It really doesn't matter, it is overridden almost always anyway. There are many packages that have similar buildroot values. All that matters is whether the BuildRoot tag is present or not. -- Additional comment from ekanter on 2006-04-03 08:52 EST -- There probably is some other issue in gcc spec file. GCC was the only package out of all RHELv4 updates which completely ignored %_tmppath %(eval 'echo $HOME/tmp') in ~/.rpmmacros and continued to place its files in /var/tmp/gcc-root -- Additional comment from ekanter on 2006-04-03 23:18 EST -- Original submitter is not able to reopen the but so I am creating another one.
I've changed this even in RHEL4's gcc34.spec, though I'd say changing it in gcc41.spec for FC5/RHEL5+ was more than enough back in December. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 174594 ***
