I plan to build it only for EL6 and F17+. So what exactly not needed for EL6?

Dropped this patch. It didn't fix the failing test in ppc anyway. Here is  new
package:

* http://peter.fedorapeople.org/leveldb.spec
* http://peter.fedorapeople.org/leveldb-1.5.0-2.fc18.src.rpm

Well, the short answer is I just didn't have time to send them. This package is
a part of a much more bigger picture - inclusion of Riak in fedora. I created a
several dozens of patches for different libraries while working on this task
and already submitted some of them but not all of them. I'll do.

Regarding these patch I wouldn't be too optimistic - especially about patch #1.
It seems that internal development culture in Google (the upstream of this
library) becomes less and less friendly to the OSS community in general and to
the volunteers outside of Google in particular.

For example they constantly create their own buggy and incompatible tools and
set up their own infrastructure instead of re-using standard and proven 
components (build systems, issue trackers). They also have a very bad habit of
forking and bundling other projects within their own ones instead of working
with upstream.

Anyway I'll try to send these patches to them as soon as I've some free time.
