All this applies only to the very specifiituation that you are trying
to rebuild target RPM.

Do NOT use this for any other purpose.

Yes.  In ELDK 4.x considerable efforts were needed to adapt a new
package for building in the ELDK environment.  In general, you cannot
just take a source RPM from some distro and compile it as a target
RPM.  It would be nice if this worked, but things are not that easy.


Best regards,
