------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED]  2006-12-29 22:49 EST -------
This builds fine for me; a few comments:

rpmlint says:

W: compat-flex devel-file-in-non-devel-package 
/usr/include/flex-compat/FlexLexer.h
  I think this is OK; the whole point of flex is to produce C output which
requires this header.

W: compat-flex devel-file-in-non-devel-package /usr/lib64/libfl-compat.a
  Static libraries are generally frowned upon, but I don't know enough about
just how flex is used to say whether this is completely unacceptable.

The makeinstall macro should not be used unless there is no other choice.  Does
the preferred "make install DESTDIR=%{buildroot}" not work?

What's the purpose of the fine command at the end of %install with no action?  I
guess it's just debugging.

You should follow the recommendations from
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/ScriptletSnippets for installing the
info files.  Specifically, you don't need the loop (there's only the one .info
file anyway) and you should really have the "|| :" bit there so no-documentation
installs don't break.

Your comment about needing to set up an extras account makes me think that
you'll need to be sponsored; if so, this ticket should additionally block
FE-NEEDSPONSOR.  (I can offer sponsorship, but I'm unsure about the static
library issue at this point.)
