This is my first package review.  I've read both the maintainers guide and the
reviewers guide.

Following the reviewer guide verbatim I find the following issues
• rpmlint reports the creation of non-standard /usr/spu directory
• BuildRequires should include gcc
• internationalisation is disabled
• ${RPM_BUILD_ROOT} used instead of %{buildroot}
I also proffer the opinion that
• ExclusiveArch may be a little restrictive, it /should/ work on x86_64

I think I can argue against some of my strict reading of the reviewers
guidelines.  A non-standard /usr/spu directory is created as this is what was
agreed for Fedora cross compilers.  Furthermore, internationalisation is
disabled because otherwise spu-binutils would overwrite the .mo files.

I believe that BuildRequires must include gcc and I suspect that the
${RPM_BUILD_ROOT} and ExclusiveArch issues are because of the style employed by
the packager, something I'm unqualified to critique.

I find the spec file easy to read and have been using binaries built from this
spec file on my own systems.
