Patch for redhat-rpm-config 8.0.45-16.fc8.
Looks good; applied |
There are three issues with the current redhat-rpm-config package on ARM systems: 1. The copy of config.guess in redhat-rpm-config always reports *-unknown-*-*, even if we are running on a Fedora ARM install, and it always reports -gnu even if we are running on an ARM system that uses EABI, where the upstream convention (followed by upstream binutils, gcc, glibc) is to use -gnueabi. 2. redhat-rpm-config's rpmrc file doesn't have optflags defines for any of the more modern arm architecture generations. 3. redhat-rpm-config's macros file unconditionally defines %_gnu as -gnu, overriding any previous declaration of that macro in rpm's macros file or in the platform's macros file. On ARM EABI systems, we have %{_gnu} defined as -gnueabi in the platform macros files, but redhat-rpm-config's macros file sets this back to -gnu. The attached patch fixes these issues, and produces a redhat-rpm-config package that works fine on arm. The first two issues are solved in a supposedly uncontroversial way, but the solution for the third might be a bit controversial: since the previous macros files already define %{_gnu}, I simply deleted the %{_gnu} define from redhat-rpm-config's macros file.
