Most possibly due to "package note".
`rpmbuild -bc` defines %{_package_note_flags}, embeds
"-specs=/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/redhat-package-notes"
to LDFLAGS, which needs "RPM_ARCH" environment. During rpmbuild process, this
environment is provided,
but then later "make" process does not define this automatically (because this
process is not under
"rpmbuild"), so embedded
"-specs=/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/redhat-package-notes" LDFLAGS complains about
missing environment.
(Yes, I think this is annoying - sometimes rpmbuild fails with some reason, I try to fix
compilation error
then try executing "make" locally, then I see linker complains about
"'RPM_ARCH' not defined"...)
I usually write "%_package_note_flags %nil" to ~/.rpmmacros, not sure if
rpmbuild command line can
undefine macros.
Or maybe changing to "rpmbuild --define '_package_note_flags %nil' -bc
libarchive.spec" can fix the
issue you see.
