NFS share causes kded to crash on logout - fix found, how to apply?

Hi All,

   I'm experiencing the same problem as Mike Cohler posted about nearly a
month ago, namely kded crashes on logout under Fedora 7 and 8 after kdebase
was update last November.  This problem has become so annoying that I did
some digging around on the web and actually found the cause and a patch to
fix it:

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=336627

I tried to apply the fix and rebuild kdebase from source rpms myself.
However, when I go to build the package after applying the patch, I get the
following error message (which is not related to the patch as far as I can
tell) and I've been unable to find any reference to the -redhat-m-gnu flag
on the web:

+ ./configure --build=x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu --host=x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu
--target=uname -redhat-m-gnu --program-prefix= --prefix=/usr

configure: error: unrecognized option: -redhat-m-gnu
Try `./configure --help' for more information.
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.23199 (%build)

I find it kinda aggravating that the patch for this has been available for
more than a month now and that before the November update, everything was
working fine with kde, at least for me.  I'd greatly appreciate any help on
resolving the -redhat-m-gnu flag error or if someone would be kind enough to
make a patched rpm version available (preferably for Fedora 7).  There is a
newer kdebase in the testing directory of the Fedora repos, but
surprisingly, it doesn't include the patch above!

Thanks in advance, Tim Leger
