http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-maintainers/2007-January/msg00339.html csmash is built without $RPM_OPT_FLAGS, resulting in no optimization nor compiler security features and more or less useless debuginfo. Fix attached, along with elimination of automake during build, and disabled dependency tracking for cleaner build output and possible build speedups. By the way, the configure.in part of the configure patch looks like it would be acceptable upstream.
Created attachment 147388 [details] Use $RPM_OPT_FLAGS, avoid automake
Thanks a lot, Ville. The fix has been applied to the devel branch. I'll eventually backport it to the others, but it's not of the highest importance IMHO.
