openssh unix dev - Jul 2001 - Small buglet trying to recompile SRPM

I've got RedHat 7.1 and when I downloaded the SRPM for 
openssh-2.9p2-1.src.rpm and tried to rpm --recompile it bombed.

Here's the error message that it generated:
  + pushd x11-ssh-askpass-1.2.0
/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/openssh-2.9p2/x11-ssh-askpass-1.2.0 
/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/openssh-2.9p2
+ xmkmf -a
imake -DUseInstalled -I/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/config
make Makefiles
Makefile:1052: *** target file `distclean' has both : and :: entries.  Stop.
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.57894 (%build)

My "critical" files are as follows:
RPM version: 4.0.2-8
OpenSSL Version: openssl-0.9.6-9
C++: cpp-2.96-85
GCC: same
libstdc++: same

Any questions? I'm not subbed to the list, so please CC me on any replies.
	thanks...
	John

For what it's worth (in case it's not obvious to you), the problem is
in building x11-ssh-askpass (the graphical passphrase dialog), not
OpenSSH proper.  I'm the author and maintainer of x11-ssh-askpass.

Sounds like your imake configuration adds some targets to the
generated Makefile that no one else's does.   Or, potentially, your
version of 'make' complains at something that no one else's does.

Please send the output of the following commands:

  rpm -qa |fgrep -i XFree86 |sort
  rpm -qf `which make`

Also, please send me (privately, not to the list) the following:

  /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/openssh-2.9p2/x11-ssh-askpass-1.2.0/Imakefile
  /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/openssh-2.9p2/x11-ssh-askpass-1.2.0/Makefile

so that i can try to diagnose the problem.

Damien, out of curiosity, is there a particular reason that you're not
including x11-ssh-askpass-1.2.2 in the RPM packages, other than that
you've not had much time?
