That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit).

Description Jiri Skala 2011-10-31 10:37:15 UTC

Description of problem:
The yaboot package is built only for ppc (mentioned ppc32) arch. When the package is built on ppc64 system using `rpmbuild -bb --target ppc <spec-file>` the build will fail due to missing -m32 option in optflags. The -m32 options should be contained in optflags when '--target ppc' is specified.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. install yaboot srpm on ppc64 system
2. rpmbuild --b --target ppc <srpm>
3. 
  
Actual results:
build fails

Expected results:
package build succeed

Additional info:
Adding -m32 to %build section of spec file fixes described issue.

Comment 2 Panu Matilainen 2011-10-31 13:29:03 UTC

redhat-rpm-config does specify -m32 for ppc. The real issue here is that yaboot does not use $RPM_OPT_FLAGS at all when building, and there's no way for rpm to enforce that.
