I prefer to have the License: tag reflect the actual license as best as it can.
On my FC-4 system /usr/share/rpmlint/TagsCheck.py claims that "zlib License" is
a valid license, but /etc/rpmlint/config doesn't.  It's a valid GPL compatible
license, so rpmlint should be configured to accept it.  Change the License:
tag and file a RFE against rpmlint.

Now the Makefile has a hardcoded version for the allegro library:
LIB_FLAGS = -lalleg-4.2.0
...making it more sensitive to changes in the allegro version, and also
breaking the build on FC-4.

You could try stripping the offending -lalleg_unsharable flag in the
Makefile:

LIB_FLAGS= $(shell allegro-config --libs | sed 's/-lalleg_unsharable//')
