Hello,

just for the record. The rpm mingw-binutils-2.13.90.20030111.1-2.src.rpm does 
not build on SuSE 9.0 . The problem for me was that the file that are 
installed inside the LC_MESSAGES directoies will not be installed into the 
change-root environment. They are installed into the normal environemnt. 

installing fr.gmo as /usr/mingw/share/locale/fr/LC_MESSAGES/bfd.mo
installing tr.gmo as /usr/mingw/share/locale/tr/LC_MESSAGES/bfd.mo
installing ja.gmo as /usr/mingw/share/locale/ja/LC_MESSAGES/bfd.mo
[snip]

when the binary rpm is build these file are missing in the change-root 
environment and the build fails

I call /usr/sbin/Check...
+ /usr/sbin/Check
+ /usr/lib/rpm/brp-compress
Processing files: mingw-binutils-2.13.90.20030111.1-2
error: File not found: /var/tmp/mingw-binutils-2.13.90.20030111.1-2-buildroot/
usr/mingw/share

i got the rpm build by copying the files into the change-root environment 
during building the rpm.

Bye Stefan
