[Gllug] gcc, cfengine and rpm

[pauln at truemesh.com]

I've been building rpms for a while and haven't really had any problems
for a bit.

I'm trying to create a package for cfengine 2.0, there doesn't seem to
be one so I've plowed straight in.

The odd thing is that the way the BuildArchitecture is working.  It's
getting i386-redhat-linux from the %configure macro
(/usr/lib/rpm/i386-redhat-linux) however this seems to be triggering
cfengine's configure to go into cross-compile moded using
/usr/bin/i386-redhat-linux-gcc, etc. 

Thus producing prefixed binaries i386-redhat-linux-cfexecd, etc

[root at cstrike1 root]# gcc --version
2.96
[root at cstrike1 root]# /usr/bin/i386-redhat-linux-gcc --version
2.96

Name        : gcc                          Relocations: (not
relocateable)
Version     : 2.96                              Vendor: Red Hat, Inc.
Release     : 98                            Build Date: Tue 04 Sep 2001

Install date: Sun 14 Jan 2001 09:00:39 EST  

I've tried forcing the _target_platform to i686-pc-linux-gnu which is
what cfengine's ./configure picks up in a manual run but doesn't help,
it just complains, setting BuildArch to i686 produces i686-redhat-linux*
binaries.  

Relevant output from rpm -bb:

+ umask 022

Remember to add `AC_PROG_LIBTOOL' to `configure.ac'.
Using `AC_PROG_RANLIB' is rendered obsolete by `AC_PROG_LIBTOOL'
You should update your `aclocal.m4' by running aclocal.

*SNIP*

Any ideas - I assume it is an autoconf/automake issue with cfengine vs
rpm.
