... building RPM is obtuse with the base Red Hatwork workstation install -- a missing BuildRequires: elfutils-devel seems to presently exist. <snip> creating rpmsignature source='debugedit.c' object='debugedit.o' libtool=no \ depfile='.deps/debugedit.Po' tmpdepfile='.deps/debugedit.TPo' \ depmode=gcc3 /bin/sh ../depcomp \ gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I. -I.. -I../build -I../lib -I../rpmdb -I../rpmio -I../popt -I../file -I../zlib -I../misc -O2 -march=i386 -mcpu=i686 -g -D_GNU_SOURCE -D_REENTRANT -Wall -Wpointer-arith -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Wno-char-subscripts -c `test -f 'debugedit.c' || echo './'`debugedit.c debugedit.c:36:18: gelf.h: No such file or directory debugedit.c:37:19: dwarf.h: No such file or directory debugedit.c:53: parse error before "Elf" debugedit.c:53: warning: no semicolon at end of struct or union debugedit.c:54: warning: type defaults to `int' in declaration of `ehdr' debugedit.c:54: warning: data definition has no type or storage class debugedit.c:55: parse error before '*' token <and so on for many many lines> Present un-stated Build-requirements include doxygen, and the elfutils-devel raw hide: rpm-4.2-0.68.src.rpm two approaches exist: BuildRequire them, or ifdef around the relevant sub-packages ... if not present. It seems that the hope would be that, for non-i386 arches, rpm can build enough of itself to bet rpm-build, so one can bootstrap a rebuild of the toolchain needed to build: gcc, binutils, glibc, rpm itself, and hopefully to kernel [herrold@dhcp249 SPECS]$ grep -i ^Build rpm.spec BuildRequires: elfutils-libelf BuildRequires: zlib-devel BuildRequires: bzip2 >= 0.9.0c-2 BuildRequires: python-devel >= %{with_python_version} [herrold@dhcp249 SPECS]$ I am thinking here also of the trans-port-int for Sparc -- elfutils-devel is probably simply not applicable off ix86 ... this leans to the ifdef extension approach.

This bug may be a dupe of: 81190 -- but with the off x86 aspect, is probably not ... As the 'not a BuildRequire' route is stated, it would seem that either ifdef'ing around arch dependent stuff in the .spec file, or perhaps in the build setup ./configure has to happen?
The right fix is to get debugedit functionality included in elfutils. Deferred until then, probably not soon.
