Me neither. Are you trying to just eliminate the dependency upon the shared library libbz2 or are you trying to operate out all bz2 functionality from rpm? If the former, why don't you just link libbz2 statically into the rpm executable?

The patches in that tarball look huge and complicated: you should not try to patch generated files such as configure, Makefile.in, and IMVHO you should not try to remove configure.ac. Please explain from a higher level point of view what your real objective is. Then we can maybe point out what's wrong with that objective, and _then_ it should be much easier to go into details in how the fixed objective can be realized.
