Problem : the configure script generates the .pc file as well as finding
the bits required from pre-installed packages. Having noarch in the
BuildArch there causes the configure script to moan and die. It also
runs the automake things to generate the makefiles.
How exactly is this dying? Is it dying because of something that the %
configure macro is passing?
