This variable is intended to be passed to sed to modify the executable name. While doing a ./configure, if the user passes --program-prefix=xyz, then the program_transform_name is modified as s,^,xyz. And if we do not pass --program-prefix at all, it takes the default (s,x,x). Now the makefile which is using this variable should not be affected if --program-prefix is not passed at all. >From rpmbuild, calling %configure expands to ./configure <someoptions> --program-prefix= .Since an empty prefix is passed, program_transform_name gets assigned to s&^&&. The makefile that uses the program_transform_name variable encounters the command substitution error. It is not necessary have to use program_transform_name variable in the Makefile because configure is passing a empty prefix anyway. I have created a patch that modifies the makefile to just copy the binaries into the destination directories instead of trying to use the program_transform_name variable.
