Mozilla Firebird/0.6

Description of problem:
I am compiling src rpms with the following:


rpm -ba --target i686 apache.spec

exit status '$?' > 1 for a succesful build. This has been fixed in later
versions of RPM but apparently not for the updated rpm versions available for AS2.1

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
rpm-4.0.4-7x.20 

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.rpm -ba --target i686 apache.spec
2.echo $?

    

Actual Results:  although the build was succesful, $? does not equal 0

Expected Results:  if build is succesful, then $? should equal 0

Yes, not fixed in AS2.1. Deferred until somewhen.
