Possibly there's a missing program. Probably there's a message you missed.
Certainly a program that's supposed to be reading "file8" is not listening any more.
Try again, and pipe everything into a file:
rpm ... >build.log 2>&1
and read the end of the log looking for what went wrong. If you can't find anything,
run it this way:
strace -f -F -o rpm.trace rpm ... >build.log 2>&1
The file, rpm.trace, will be enormous, but it will have the answer about what went
wrong.
Read the man page for strace for some refinements.
