I think that %define will affect the main RPM, as well as mingw
sub-RPM, so we can't simply set it to %{nil}. Couple of options
that I see
- Find out what's wrong with strip & fix it
- Modify the default brp-compress script to avoid mingw files
- Create a wrapper around default brp-compress script to filer
mingw files and %define __os_install_post to use that

Doesn't the default ELF find-rquires already discover these ? I thought
it would look for all ELF files no matter where they were installed ?

While this works for GNUTLS I don't think we can assume that all libs
we want will support VPATH builds. IIRC the way the kernel deals with
this is to have a completely separate source tree per build target.
We could do this by changing
%setup
to
%setup -c
So the sources end up in rpm/BUILD/gnutls-2.4.1/gnutls-2.4.1
Then in the %build seciton we can copy the source tree for
mingw
cp -a %{name}-%{version} %{name}-%{version}-mingw
pushd %{name}-%{version}
%configure
make
popd
pushd %{name}-%{version}
%configure --host=i686-pc-mingw32
make
popd
Takes extra disk space during the build of course,but none of the things
we're looking at are particularly large.
Oh, we probably also want to have a %define with_mingw at the top of
the spec files to allow the mingw sub-RPM to be turned on/off easily.
This will speed up build times during regular package maintainer work.

Daniel
