Alpha opts are currently set up to -O2 maybe this will not fail :-).

Actually you know that optimizition sometimes break out things -- and now
that we have real fast machines (when they are up) it's really not a pain
to produce highly optimized rpm's.
If you don't want them, just modify /usr/lib/rpm/rpmrc according to your
needs. Removing the -O stuff will lead to real fast (and succesful
hopefully) builds..
