I.e. you're manually building it, and don't use the src.rpm?

To be investigated.

On FC3, fails with the error below:
# rpmbuild \
--rebuild rtems-4.6-sparc-rtems-gdb-collection-5.2-1.nosrc.rpm
..

Without having looked into details, it seems to be a simple conflict
between gdb-5.2 and glibc2, which probably can easily to be worked
around, but ... somebody will have to do it - I currently don't have
sufficient time to do so - All I did was to invoke "rpmbuild" :-)

/opt/<package> is the location recommended by the FHS and the LSB for
add-on packages like the RTEMS toolchains.

I am not using sparc-rtems-gdb :-)
