CC, or $*FLAGS) It seems a bit unreasonable to expect us to support building something like solaris sparc rpms on linux i386... Or really, building any non-rh or incompatible arch target. Even in the non-rh but still linux and a compatible arch case, a build chroot makes a lot more sense to me.

(And this is only the > tip of the iceberg :( ). Like you said, "the more exotic..." I think you're trying to do some things that the vast majority of users don't and shouldn't do. Sounds like you have a work-around already too. Not to say that if it isn't straight-forward enough we shouldn't fix up redhat-rpm-config to play nice in this situation, but I don't think its something that is going to be high-priority on most people's todo list. -- Jarod Wilson jwilson@xxxxxxxxxx
