Using Linux keycodes has some "issues" on various keyboards.  The French
one seems to be the worst in this area.  You can roll back to using Mac
keycodes, using Sylvain's HowTo, or if you want to contribute a better
keymap, that would be welcome too.

Lot's of packages use %make. For some reason it's not being interpreted on
your system:

+ cd xsnow-1.42
+ exit 0
Executing(%build): /bin/sh -e /home/stew/tmp/rpm-tmp.12047
+ umask 022
+ cd /home/stew/rpm/BUILD
+ cd xsnow-1.42
+ xmkmf
mv -f Makefile Makefile.bak
imake -DUseInstalled -I/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/config
+ make depend
makedepend  --   -I/usr/X11R6/include    -Dlinux -D__powerpc__
-D_POSIX_C_SOURCE=199309L -D_POSIX_SOURCE -D_XOPEN_SOURCE -D_BSD_SOURCE
-D_SVID_SOURCE     -DFUNCPROTO=15 -DNARROWPROTO     -DUSE_MAKEDEPEND --
xsnow.c toon_root.c xsnow.h vroot.h
+ make

xsnow built fine here.

%make is not much as rpm macros go:

[stew@powerbook-cooker SPECS]$ rpm --eval=%make
make 

[stew@powerbook-cooker SPECS]$ grep make /usr/lib/rpm/macros 
%__make                 /usr/bin/make

OK, so I guess the new X rpms that I asked everyone to test on r128 were
not OK? This would be XFree86-4.2.0-10.1mdk.ppc.rpm.  You guys leave me in
a bit of a predicament.  I don't have a r128 machine.  I was told there
was an issue, and reworked the package, asking folks to test it, and was
then told things were fine.  Released the new package and now you tell me
it's broken. So should we start the process over again?
