Brad,

How are you building rpms with the spec file?  The current spec file is set up
to build binary rpms.  It appears that your patch wants to build an rpm with a
tarball of the source and have the code built on the target machine.

Perhaps this is the way we should go moving forward.  Previous powerpc-utils packages
were built as binary rpms since the rpm was not shipped with the distros and the
target machine to install these on (i.e. servers) was not expected to have a
compiler installed.  Since powrepc-utils is now shipped with most distros it may
be time to convert the spec file to not build a binary rpm.

I'm not sure about the man page changes, I have had no problem with the man pages
when building a binary rpm.  Perhaps this change is part of the switch to not
building this as a binary package.
