"make CFLAGS=..." is a no-op; the Makefile uses COPTS, thus the build ends up
doing just "gcc -Wall -fno-exceptions -c -O2 cpuspeed.cc".  Just changing CFLAGS
to COPTS makes the build fail here on FC6 i386, though.

Needs work then, assigning to owner before the review can go further.  After you
fix this issue, please set fedora-review back to BLANK and reassign back to the
reviewer.

Okay, I think I *almost* have this one sorted out... I've got the package building on rawhide x86_64 
using most of our stock optflags, save -fexceptions, which is the one that was causing the build to fail 
when switching from CFLAGS= to COPTS= (note that that stock Makefile is set up to pass -fno-
exceptions). I've tweaked things a bit further so the -z bits are only passed during linking, so as to 
suppress some warning messages.

This results in built packages that, at a glance, seem to be functioning correctly. Unfortunately, I'm still 
winding up with no source in the debuginfo package for some reason that is beyond me at the 
moment...

Turns out the lack of source files in my debuginfo is due to my rpm build root's $RPM_BUILD_DIR having a 
shorter path name than /usr/src/debug, which debugedit (called from find-debuginfo.sh) pukes on. With 
a suitably longer build root path, source files are indeed being properly included in -debuginfo now.

as cpuspeed is dead package now, closing WONTFIX...
