It will be some unexpected interaction between pcp.spec.in and the makefiles
(and/or the configure paths).

In particular, if the %install section of pcp.spec.in initially produces an
empty set of files for "libs_files" - see lines 398 and 401 - then it will
fail in the way you're observing (I think) due to the awk at line 461 never
creating libs_files.rpm ... could be a /usr/lib32 vs /usr/lib vs /usr/lib64
issue?

cheers.
