Yes, as long as people working on rhino don't know anything about notify
locks. :) You have a pointer to more info?

No, the only thing which uses it is the example category which is built by
mkrhinoism. You should be able to comment it out of the build with no
problems. (In addition to lib/Makefile, you'll have to remove it from
build/rpm/rpm.spec if you're building RPM packages.)
The other alternative is to install the fam header & library. If you're
installing it from RPM, make sure you install --noscripts or whatever,
because the install scripts want to add fam to your inetd.conf.
