Have a look at
http://trivia.amd2345.fastmail.com.au/Sawfish/librep-0.17.4.tgz
http://trivia.amd2345.fastmail.com.au/Sawfish/rep-gtk-0.18.6.tgz

These are from the rpmbuild/BUILD so are what is actually used.
Note that there are files that are not in the repository and are
generated by applying
	aclocal
	autoconf
	automake --add-missing
	./configure

Only after doing this do I get the *.spec file for rpmbuild.

In librep the spec file has

    %build
    %configure --with-readline --enable-shared --disable-rpath --libexecdir=%{_libdir}
    make %{?_smp_mflags}

which gets _libdir from rpmbuilds defaults, and Makefile has

    libdir & libexecdir=/usr/lib64


For rep-gtk the spec file has

    %build
    ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr
    make %{?_smp_mflags}

and Makefile has

    prefix=/usr
    exec_prefix=${prefix}
    libdir=${exec_prefix}/lib

Somehow the rep part of the build ignores this latter libdir.
