I have an issue where I build an RPM using 'rpmbuild -ba <spec file>'
and it builds the packages and writes a source RPM, but there are no
binaries written out and no errors.  Any idea what would cause this?  I
also tried with rpmbuild -bb with no luck.
It turns out that the problem with my SPEC file was that I had an errant % that was not doing anything constructive.

ie:
install -d %(buildroot}/usr/share/%{pkg_name}

which should have been:

install -d %{buildroot}/usr/share/%{pkg_name}

Note that in the first line, there is a '(' just after the '%'. This caused the build to bail on the install portion of the build. I caught this after reviewing the Fedora RPM guide and seeing a note about errant percent signs.
