Well, you need to make a patch.  So,

$ cp ktorrent-2.0.3/configure ktorrent-2.0.3/configure.orig

- Edit ktorrent-2.0.3/configure and change the LDFLAGS line to :
LDFLAGS="$LDFLAGS -Wl,-z,now"

$ diff -u ktorrent-2.0.3/configure.orig ktorrent-2.0.3/configure > 
ktorrent-2.0.3-znow.patch

It should look like:

  # Check whether --enable-largefile or --disable-largefile was given.


- Edit ktorrent.spec and add the patch:

- Add your patch to cvs:

$ cvs add ktorrent-2.0.3-znow.patch

- Try it out.  If it still fails on ppc, edit configure again and change 
the LDFLAGS line again to:

case $host in
ppc*) ;;
    *) LDFLAGS="$LDFLAGS -Wl,-z,now";;
esac

- Update your patch:

$ diff -u ktorrent-2.0.3/configure.znow ktorrent-2.0.3/configure > 
ktorrent-2.0.3-znow.patch
$ cvs ci


Submit whatever patch works upstream.  They'll need to apply it to 
configure.in or something else, but they should be able to figure that out.
