Must have something to do with the rpm package?  Certainly
the crash src.rpm package has no control over whether your
system has that "/usr/lib/rpm/check-rpaths" command installed,
right?

On my x86_64 RHEL4 box (not RHEL4-U4), the rpmbuild doesn't
do that "/usr/lib/rpm/check-rpaths" command after the cpio:

...

I think this may be remotely related to the change in the rpm
package used in RHEL4-U4?  As of RHEL4-U4, the module files
in the kernel-debuginfo package started to become useless because
of that, and we're trying to get them back in shape for RHEL4-U5.
(BZ #211903)

But why your system doesn't have "/usr/lib/rpm/check-rpaths"?
I give up...

At least it built the crash executable.  I always use the tar.gz file
because it's so much easier to deal with:

  $ tar xvzmf crash-xxx.tar.gz; cd crash-xxx; make; make install

Plus the above leaves the crash executable in its debug-full state
so you don't need to install the additional debuginfo package if
you want to run gdb on crash itself.
