I think this is a result of these lines from src/include/builddefs
(autogenerated from builddefs.in) -


ifeq "$(TARGET_OS)" "linux"
PYTHON_INSTALL = \
        $(AWK) '{print} /.pyc$$/ {sub(/.pyc$$/,".pyo"); print}' \
                < $(TOPDIR)/python-pcp.list > $(TOPDIR)/python-pcp.list.rpm
else
...


If you comment that out, does the build proceed to completion?  If so,
we'll need to tighten up that "if linux" guard to be "if linux and not
rpm before a certain version".

thanks.
