Howdy:

I've been having trouble building courier rpms on RedHat 7.3 (which
worked fine on another machine a few months ago).  On this machine, I
started with the latest source package (0.43.2) which had rpm build
errors.

I couldn't find any answers by googling or asking in #courier, so I
tried a slightly older package (0.39.3) and then an older one (0.37.3)
just to see if it was an issue with the "oldness" of RedHat 7.3, even
though I have all the current updates for it.

Both of the above also had build problems, but with different errors, so
I decided to see if it was the "make check" part failing.  After
commenting out that one line in the spec file, 0.37.3 built
successfully.  My rpm command line is:

rpm -ba --define 'xflags --enable-https
--enable-workarounds-for-imap-client-bugs' courier.spec

Now, I read the INSTALL doc and other stuff, and it did say that "make
check" would fail with the above options, and to do the "check" part
first without the options, then configure again and build with these
options.

How does this help when building rpms?  It seems to me it's impossible
to build an rpm (with the above options) if "make check" always fails. 
What is the work-around I'm missing?  I don't remember what I did last
time (on the other machine) but I didn't run into this issue.

Can somebody please enlighten me?

Thanks in advance, Steve
