I had this same problem myself in May this year. Here's the posting I
made back then (to owl-devel, which isn't archived unfortunately).
-----------
I ran into some weird errors while packaging coreutils, where its
configure script for some obscure reason attempted to run /lib/cpp as
the preprocessor. Adding the following lines to the %configure macro
seems to have solved the problem (and made it embarrassingly obvious
that I had forgotten to install the kernel-headers). The addendum is
most likely a good idea anyways since it can prevent some problems with
ill-behaved ./configure scripts.
%configure
CC="${CC:-%__cc}" ; export CC ; \
CPP="${CPP:-%__cpp}" ; export CPP ; \
CFLAGS (and so on...)
---------------
Galaxy, Dmitry and Solar agreed that adding it to the default macros
might be a good idea. Galaxy wanted to do some other stuff with the rpm
package first.
