This might be related to a problem I have with building the rpm with
tweaked architectures. I need to patch the sawfish.spec file replacing
the automagic detection with a hard coded define:

<%define librepdir %(\
<   repl=$(rpm -ql librep.%{_arch}| grep -m 1 /rep/); \
<   [ "$repl" ] || repl=$(rpm -ql librep-devel.%{_arch} | grep -m 1 /rep/); \
<   echo ${repl%%/rep/*})

>%define librepdir /usr/lib


Look in the Makefiles for a similar librepdir define.
