/etc/rpm/macros.mach would be used by the standard RPM, so it would break the protection put in place by the RPM maintainers, that is people could use "rpm -i" on a .rpm and ruin their system. [ BTW if you have any interest in mach, I don't have the occasion to create chroots of RPM distros in my new job, nor had the time to look into fixing RPM builds with mach. ] -- Loïc Minier
