Passing a non-empty DIST to /root/rpmbuild/BUILD/dev86-0.16.17/libc/Config_sh would set RUNNING=0 in line 42 and solve the problem. (In reply to comment #2) Bumping up to v 6.1, otherwise it will make it to the next release too.

I've triaged it and it seems to be fine as it passes automatic build because of DIST is set in this time and it asks use only when DIST is not set, i.e. the rpmbuild is being run manually therefore I see no regression. Zenon, if you need it for your automatic build just set the DIST variable and it's fine. Considering this do you really thing it's still an issue? Thanks, Michal
No activity on bug for one week and analysis show this is not issue for automatic builds as the DIST is set in this case. Closing as NOTABUG. If somebody find any issue using with the current functionality, feel free to re-open. Thanks, Michal
