Yes, that is simple enough, and I can remove the change I made to the
spec file. But I do not want to continue fielding the inevitable emails
that will come, nor am I willing to introduce more convoluted logic to
specify proper CFLAGS strings per platform. I'll add a note to the
RPM-FAQ and then no longer consider this a packaging issue.
