Can you give me an example of what you are looking... redhat-rpm-config
page is not very straightforward... IMHO...

You should use %{set_build_flags} to set the CFLAGS/LDFLAGS environment variables, and fix the package build process to pass it down to the relevant places (linker invocations), ideally without making any changes to the flags.

Unfortunately, the latter part totally depends on the package build system.  Figuring out where CFLAGS/LDFLAGS are dropped is the hard part.

You can use “checksec --file nfsdcltrack” to verify that it was (likely) linked correctly.  It should say “Full RELRO” and “PIE enabled”.

I've looked around at other packages and I can't
find any other packages using those flags

I'm not against using it I just want to make sure I'm
do the right thing... would happen to know what packages
use those flags? tia..

Try bash?  *Everything* is expected to use the same flags, only the way of injecting them differs because build systems vary.

bash does not use it either... 

So you are looking for something like this?

I just hoping I'm not fixing something that's not broken! ;-)

You should drop $PIE and -pie, redhat-rpm-config will take care of that.  -pie will break shared objects (if you have any).

In fact, you don't even need to specify CFLAGS and LDFLAGS because the %configure macro takes care of that.

But the original problem appears to be that libtool is not running correctly and is dropping flags.  Changing the RPM spec file isn't going to fix that.

I asked for guidance here:

-DD_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 could still be needed on 32-bit architectures if the makefiles do not supply it themselves.
