No I could not, because I still got the dependent krb5 package to bring in another unavailable linker script. FTR we resolved this by rebuilding krb5-libs *without* notes, and then I could rebuild python-gssapi also without notes. However I resent a bit that I had to chase down this problem myself, days after it had already been exposed, and basically manually disable this feature for a large part of Fedora (anything that links to krb5 now is missing these notes, rights?) only relying on hearsay and some brave soul giving tips. It is also now littering spec files with disablement of this feature, which will make it harder to re-introduce it once these problems are solved (or will cause abandonment of the feature, with fragments of unused spec files all over the place).
