Rpm knows nothing about the K7 and the Athlon.
You need to compile it for the i586 but pass Athlon switches to the compiler
via RPM...
Read the MAN...

Subject: Re: [newbie] rebuild src.rpms with athlon optimizations
well I tried to rebuild a package that I had
successfully built before with these commands:
rpm --rebuild --target=athlon ftp-0.17-4mdk.src.rpm
rpm --rebuild --target=k7 ftp-0.17-4mdk.src.rpm
and neither one of them worked. Here's an out put of
where it failed on every one of the packages.
Generating MCONFIG...
+ %make
/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.87677: fg: no job control
Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.87677 (%build)
hmmm. Anybody else have any ideas on this? Mandrake
guys? Todd? Civilme?
