No, I tried to do the same changes I made to RHEL-4 RPM to the RH7.3,
RH8.0 and RH9.0 packages with no success (hence the original message).

I get either a link error "_Core.o" not found or I get a "can't install
into /usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/......." message.

For some reason on these platforms (but not on RHEL-4) the staging
directory ($RPM_ROOT_DIR) is not getting passed down to the individual
python, perl installs, or they are not paying attention to it or
something.

Precisely my question. I or someone needs to figure out:
1. Why the $RPM_BUILD_ROOT is not being passed into the DESTDIR correctly
on those platforms.
2. Patch to fix that or an alternate way of doing it.

Any ideas welcome. I've spent 3-4 hours on it a couple of weeks ago and
haven't yet figured it out.
