It just dawned on me that, due to this feature, when the mass rebuild
packages are merged into Rawhide, we may end up with the entire OCaml
ecosystem failing to build from source. The reason is that ocaml.spec
bakes $RPM_LD_FLAGS into ocamlopt. Well, $RPM_LD_FLAGS now includes a
path to a package-specific notes file, which means every ocaml-foo
package that uses ocamlopt is going to get the path to the notes file
for the ocaml package, which isn't going to exist.
I added the %undefine directive to every OCaml package today and
rebuilt them. Rebuild is nearly complete. I hope one day we'll be
able to undo that.
