Clearly it should be submitted as a PR to the kernel package.

And another for the glibc package (that
one likely will take more than a minute).

So glibc will be hard one because it has sections like:

```

 %files -f langpack-]]..lang..[[.filelist langpack-]]..lang..[[

]]))
end

for i = 1, #locales do
   lang_package(locales[i])
end
}

```

and

```

%files -f devel.filelist devel
%if %{glibc_autorequires}
%attr(0755,root,root) %{_rpmconfigdir}/glibc.req
%{_fileattrsdir}/glibc.attr
%endif

```

Looking through the spec files used for rawhide today.. there are 1242 packages which use %{bindir}/* with the bulk of them in golang and perl.

```

ssmoogen@ssmoogen-rh:~/GPG/rpm-specs$ egrep '^%{_includedir}/\*' *spec | wc -l
487
ssmoogen@ssmoogen-rh:~/GPG/rpm-specs$ egrep '^%{_docdir}/\*' *spec | wc -l
6
ssmoogen@ssmoogen-rh:~/GPG/rpm-specs$ egrep '^%{_mandir}/\*' *spec | wc -l
417
ssmoogen@ssmoogen-rh:~/GPG/rpm-specs$ egrep '^%{_bindir}/\*' *spec | wc -l
1242
ssmoogen@ssmoogen-rh:~/GPG/rpm-specs$ egrep '^%{_datadir}/\*' *spec | wc -l
3

```

the two small sets are like
```
ssmoogen@ssmoogen-rh:~/GPG/rpm-specs$ egrep '^%{_datadir}/\*' *spec
gawk.spec:%{_datadir}/*awk
gnome-pomodoro.spec:%{_datadir}/*/org.gnome.Pomodoro.appdata.xml
htmlcxx.spec:%{_datadir}/*
ssmoogen@ssmoogen-rh:~/GPG/rpm-specs$ egrep '^%{_docdir}/\*' *spec
acpica-tools.spec:%{_docdir}/*/*
assimp.spec:%{_docdir}/*
freecell-solver.spec:%{_docdir}/*
prboom-plus.spec:%{_docdir}/*
sblim-sfcc.spec:%{_docdir}/*
vmod-querystring.spec:%{_docdir}/*
```

I am guessing the pomodoro would be ok and the others should be easyfix.
