The last spec %changelog entry only mentioned 2.0.0. If you had hardcoded
the 2.1.0 in the "Version" tag instead of replacing it with a %{REVISION},
macro. I would not have assumed that the spec is for 2.0.0.

Those are specific rpmbuild errors. ;)

On which platform did you compile it? x86_64 possibly? %{_libdir} expands
to /usr/lib64 there (and on other 64-bit multiarch platforms).
