Ok, this is what Fedora uses as a base so i started there, but I believe you,
so I will use the official 2.17 for the next iteration. I will also add the
advised --disable-nls configure flag. Side note, what is wise for arm-linux, the
Fedora version or the GNU one?

True, I will fix this.

Open questions:
1 If we use a different version as native, then some translated strings may be 
  changed, leading to them not being translated. I guess the differences are 
  small, so that we can live with this, but I would like to hear what others 
  think.
2 In order for translations to work at all (and to have the info pages) the
  native binutils must be installed, so I'm tending towarda adding
  "Requires: binutils" to the specfile, but again I would like to hear what 
  others think.
