Sorry, Jeff, this cannot be done. It worked for you only because you
still have not built from scratch. Else you would have noticed that this
requires build/ and lib/ to be built _BEFORE_ rpmio/ stuff and this
breaks the library dependency hierarchy!

It is important that the test programs in rpmio/ which need build/ and
lib/ are marked as EXTRA_ stuff so they are *not* built automatically
during the the regular build. By moving them to noinst_XXXX they are
attempted to be build and this breaks the regular build procedure now.
I had to back this change out in order to unbreak the regular building.

If you really wish those test programs to be build automatically I
recommend to move all of them into a separate directory (e.g. tools/)
and additionally perhaps allow one to disable their building via
--without-tests, too.
