This is actually a distribution problem and not an AMD64
problem, but it is an AMD64 distribution, ...

Anyhow, my source rpms for Icarus Verilog cause lots of
warnings when I use "rpm --rebuild iverilog-0.7.20030815-0.src.rpm"
to rebuild the package. Warnings like:


I call /usr/sbin/Check...
+ /usr/sbin/Check
rm: cannot remove `/usr/share/info/dir.bak.gz': Permission denied
gzip: /usr/share/info/dir.bak.gz: Permission denied
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root          503 2003-07-17 07:06 
/usr/share/info/dir.bak.gz
rm: cannot remove `/usr/share/man/man1/gimp-1.2.1.gz': Permission denied
gzip: /usr/share/man/man1/gimp-1.2.1.gz: Permission denied
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root         5318 2003-07-09 06:53 
/usr/share/man/man1/gimp-1.2.1.gz

In fact, it appears that the subcommands are not using
the BUILD_ROOT that is there to allow for non-root rebuilds
of packages. It may be that an old version of rpm is being
used.

The srpms in question is here:
