For some time now, each time I try to build an RPM it fails with something like: + /usr/lib/rpm/check-rpaths /usr/lib/rpm/check-buildroot xargs: /usr/lib/rpm/check-rpaths-worker: Argument list too long error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.39544 (%install) This I have traced back to xargs(1) generating huge argument lists, which the called command can't handle. Doing a "make clean" in a self-built kernel gives the same type of grief (I tweaked the Makefile there to call xargs with "-L 2000" to get it to work). I wonder how everybody else here is able to get anything done...
Easy workaround: just remove the rpath check from ~/.rpmmacros (rpmdev-setuptree plants it there, it's not part of default rpm build setup otherwise).
