problems with missing files at end of rpm build

[John Davis <jddavis randolph edu>]

I've begun to run into this problem with many spec files for packages.

For example when I try to build packages for mhash, I get the following
>RPM build errors:
>    File not found by glob: /tmp/mhash-0.8.18-root/usr/lib/*.a

 All the other files are in the other specified directories.  If I comment the 
glob collection line that deals with *.a the package builds fine.

Anyone with ideas or a fix:

Here's the spec file itself:

# begin spec file
%define prefix   /usr
 
Summary: Thread-safe hash library
Name: mhash

%description
mhash is a thread-safe hash library, implemented in C, and provides a
uniform interface to a large number of hash algorithms (MD5, SHA-1,
HAVAL, RIPEMD128, RIPEMD160, TIGER, GOST). These algorithms can be
used to compute checksums, message digests, and other signatures.
The HMAC support implements the basics for message authentication,
following RFC 2104.
