Built 1.7.6 rpms for Suse 8.1

[Leif Jensen]

I built the release candidate version 1.7.6 of gnucash for my own Suse 8.1 
system and decided to make the rpms available in case others are interested.

The package installs and works for me, but I had to install/upgrade a lot of 
dependencies, so I can't guarantee it will work for anyone else without some 
effort.

The only difficulty I had was that the gnucash configure script is 
incompatible with the $host_os of i686-suse-linux from the Suse configure 
system.  This prevents libtool from handling shared libraries properly. I fix 
it with

perl -pi -e 's/linux-gnu\*\)/*linux*)/' configure

I have seen this problem with some other projects too. What is happening?

I noticed the new version preserved only one of the 1.6.x reports I had open. 
There are certainly a few other issues.  What's the best way to report these?

Best, Leif
