first i want to apologize, my heads a bit cloudy from being sick and I
misread your comment thinking the __strip thing didn't get it fixed.

I can see how your solution might actually be a possibly better route, see

Normally %{__spec_install_post} evaluates to the following:
[me@mybox build]$ rpm --eval %__spec_install_post
/usr/lib/rpm/check-buildroot
/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/brp-compress
/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/brp-strip /usr/bin/strip
/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/brp-strip-static-archive /usr/bin/strip
/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/brp-strip-comment-note /usr/bin/strip /usr/bin/objdump
/usr/lib/rpm/brp-python-bytecompile
/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/brp-python-hardlink
/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/brp-java-repack-jars
The primary issue there is the brp-strip*, so my solution would drop it to
just the brp-compress. At the time that I ran across this I didn't
experiment with having it still do everything else, which in some cases
might still be important. So.. ya..
thanks for setting me straight and once again sorry. :)
