BTW, I'm seeing some issues using devtool system on Fedora 10beta with  
this code in configure.ac:

AC_ARG_ENABLE(build-debug,
     AS_HELP_STRING([--enable-build-debug], [build RPM instrumented  
for debugging]), [dnl
     if test ".$enableval" = .yes; then
         if test ".`$CC --version 2>&1 | grep 'GCC'`" != .; then
             dnl # GNU GCC (usually "gcc")
             CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -O0 -g3"
         elif test ".`$CC -V 2>&1 | grep 'Sun C'`" != .; then
             dnl # Sun Studio (usually "cc")
             CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -xO0 -g"
         elif test ".`$CC -help 2>&1 | grep 'Intel Corporation'`" ! 
= .; then
             dnl # Intel C/C++ Compiler (usually "icc")
             CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -O0 -g"
         else
             CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -g"
         fi
     fi
])

What's happing is that -O2 is later overridden with -O0 -g3 if
--enable-build-debug is added (as it has been since forever by me).

What I'd like to see is "-O2 -g" so that "make install" includes
debugging symbols. Whether that behavior is conditioned on
--enable-build-debug (or not), I really don't care.

There's also some OSSP UUID foolishness on Fedora 10 beta,
Kerberos pkgconfig seems to be specifying -I/usr/include/uuid
and the Wrong Thing Happens in the lua/rpmio uuid wrappers.

Not a real issue, jssue imho, just Fedora foolishness, but ...

There's also a test for MakeMaker that might be usefully added to  
AutoFu.
OTOH its also perfectly OK to assume that perl implies MakeMaker
is installed imho.
