It is (and rpm per se does not require DESTDIR anyway), but I somehow
question the the usefuleness of changing each and every package for .rpm,
.deb, .slp, .tgz, gcc-2.96 variants of ome distributors etc....
(So, nothing specific against rpm, jsuta aginst having to modify the
packages, even if it is easier for many packages ;)

This is not good. Can you outline what needs to be changed (since I, in my
endless dumbness, can't find it and gimp does not compile for me at the
moment).

I can understand this, however I am quite in favour of fixing more cruft
and build anomalies, there are a lot of them (o.k., decreasing..) ;)

Oh, now I can see the problem. You use the same prefix as gimp (do
you?). This will produce severely broken rpms unless the gimp prefix
equals the perl prefix, which somehow makes the whole exercise superfluous.
Do not use the gimp's prefix, otherwise your rpm's will only run on
unmodified standard redhat systems where gimp is installed in /usr/bin.
