This is all part of the
rpmbuild -ba --with debug swish-e.spec
stuff. The 'standard' debuginfo package tends to have periodic -g/-O2/gdb/gcc
problems, and this has worked well for me. And,  as I use this for development
purposes, is a easy way to create a pure -g/-O0 debuginfo package.

Removing -g from the standard build reduces build time on large packages, but
not relevant here.

To get a nice -O2 debuginfo package, the
%{!?_with_debug:%define debug_package %{nil}}
may be commented out.

>> BuildArch:      i386 x86_64

>Why that?
Can only verify proper (whatever that means) build on i386 and x86_64
architectures at this time. Deleted.

ldd API.so is not showing a dependency on libswish-e.so.
