Created attachment 313947 [details] proposed patch Macro %configure contains --target=%{_target_platform}. It should be better removed. Let me remind that in GNU-style configure scripts, --target means "the plafrom targeted by the tool just built". For example, if you are building a cross-tool, which is about to run on i386 and generate code for arm, then --target=arm-something. In most cases, this is not needed, because the rpm package does not contain any cross-building tool. And in the case that the package is a cross-building tool, this --target definition does not help either, because of the ambivalent tradition of _target* macros in rpm. Moreover, note that %{_target_platform} is used, not %{_target}, so it can easily happen that a) it is not right or b) it is a string different from %{_host} which, though right, can easily confuse the %configure script. It is best to remove --target from %configure. (The spec files for cross-build tools can then easily add the right --target.)
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 10 development cycle. Changing version to '10'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fixed upstream now, but on Fedora redhat-rpm-config overrides the default %configure so the change needs to be done there for it to make any difference.
