Not sure what you mean by "RPM specs".  Are you suggesting that I rebuild
"rpm" itself?  If so, I don't think "rpm" is the problem, it appears that
the package rpm is trying to open is the problem (I've used rpm on other
packages on this machine in the past).  Assuming that's true,
does this mean I have to build the binaries (binutils and gcc) from scratch?
