I've got the code Tom and I came up with to deal with the LinuxPPC
nonsense of a few releases ago... That or similar would be the ticket.
A sed pipeline re-setting CFLAGS by removing 'unsafe' options from the
flags would be useful.

I'm working on a 'what distribution is this' deal for the spec file.

Interesting. I have found a couple of other non-props -- including the
README.rpm-dist, for some reason. I'm going to have to trace the build
in detail. And the html docs tree is going to the wrong place...

In any case, a unified or context diff against the 7.1beta4 spec would
be useful.
