That src.rpm should build work with rh72,73,80 (and probably 9 whenever
we take that over too)  Though, if you're building on 8.0, please note
what rpm you're building against, since there seems to be some disparity
about that lately.  I personally support Warren's proposal that if you
want to use the legacy tools, you update rpm.
