Hi Hans,
I'm trying to build xfig-3.2.5-23.b.fc13 for ppc/ppc64 on the
secondary arch builders and hitting a problem that I think has
to do with the actual tarball used. You can see the build log
here:
http://ppc.koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=9379
As you can see, it errors out during the %setup phase in %prep.
I did some looking around, and I think the reason the chmod
call that %setup is doing fails is because the Libraries dir
in the tarball has weird permissions.
You can see this here:

[jwboyer@hansolo devel]$ cd xfig.3.2.5b/Libraries/
bash: cd: xfig.3.2.5b/Libraries/: Permission denied
[jwboyer@hansolo devel]$
The Libraries dir doesn't have execute permissions on it. Why
that is, I have no idea but I believe it is the reason the
recursive chmod fails. I also have no idea how this actually
built on the primary builders.
Do you think you could take a look?
