building audit-1.6.x is broken in RHEL5[.x]

[Klaus Heinrich Kiwi]

Miloslav,

  I'm unable to build audit 1.6.x in RHEL5 or RHEL5 update1 (as of
snap8) using rpmbuild. I'm directing you this report as looks like the
problem lies in the system-config-audit package.

Seems like something is failing to replace @DATADIRNAME@ for 'share'
while intltoolize'ing, even though there's a m4 macro within
m4/gettext.m4 that says:
    dnl For backward compatibility. Some Makefiles may be using this.
    DATADIRNAME=share
    AC_SUBST(DATADIRNAME)

However, rpmbuild --rebuild audit-1.6.1-1.src.rpm fails with:
----------
...
Making install in po
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/audit-1.6.1/system-config-audit/po'

if test -n "cs"; then \

No translations found for system-config-audit in /var/tmp/audit-1.6.1-root
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.55808 (%install)
----------
The translation is installed as '.../@DATADIRNAME@/locale/...' and
find-lang.sh tries to find '*/share/locale/*' translations.

Building in Fedora7 works (probably because of updated intltool package
- see http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=373643)

I don't understand why the AC_SUBST(DATADIRNAME) macro isn't working and
I'd like to build the package in an unmodified RHEL5 (GA) server. Anyone
have a clue on how to fix this? Isn't it worth fixing it upstream?

btw, why is there a 'Makefile.in.in~' file inside
system-config-audit/po?

Thanks,
