That's the only one I know of(other than some packages not being happy
about building that way for other reasons than installing files
illicitly). Once the package has been established to be compliant it's
easy to do a build without the flag to make sure that all of the binaries
are happy (if the package is gigantic and you're on a slow computer this
may not be -fun-, but it's not -hard- :-) ).
