Congratulations on the 5.3 milestone!

Packaging the 5.3.0 stable release into an RPM (linux) will error as the 
bin/phar symlink is created using the build-time path variable. This has been 
submitted as bug:

I encourage this to be included in the next 5.3 release as it is likely cause 
some woe for vendors that are packaging php. 

I didn't see any specific rpm building automation tests available and the 
makerpm script included in the source is a bit dated. Would it be of any 
benefit to the community to provide an updated reference spec file and makerpm 
script for rpm capabable platforms?
