Yes, this is because you are using (I think) rpm 2.9 or 3.0 ( greater than rpm 2.5
series)

Changes to rpm break the "2rhx" rpms. (Thanks, Red Hat !)

This breaks the 2rh5x spec files, because two character macros like "cc"
are no longer  recognised.  The later "3rh5x"
rpms fix this with "cc" becoming "compiler",
"rh" becoming "redhat" etc.

but the updated src rpms for the applications were not posted, as no updates to
the applications have been needed.




OK , 
I'll do this.    

In the meantime, rebuild with rpm 2.5.x
