I'm trying to build the SystemImager (unstable) 3.7.2 RPMs using the
systemimager.spec file provided in the tar-ball.  My build host runs
Redhat RHEL4 (latest Update 3).  I have some troubles with the SPEC file:

1. There's a requirement in two places:
   BuildRequires: python, python-devel, python-xml
   However, python-xml is an RPM that's not provided by RHEL4.
   What do we do about it ?  In order to proceed I've deleted this requirement
   from the SPEC file.

2. The rpmbuild process bombs out with an error message:
make: *** No rule to make target `/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/systemimager-3.7.2/src/dosfstools-2.11/mkdosfs/mkdosfs', needed by `/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/systemimager-3.7.2/tmp/boel_binaries.tar.gz'. Stop.
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.17034 (%install)

   I recall a similar problem from April 2004 where a patch was missing
   for dosfstools-2.8 as discussed in
   http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=4093988&forum_id=10334
   I wonder if that old problem has resurfaced ?
