Oka-ay. (Again you should've said that in your original question, as we 
otherwise have to guess you are talking about the manual ./configure.) I 
don't know. Maybe it was because of your extra rpmbuild argument 
--target=i686? Maybe because the ./configure script of 1.8.11 came from 
a different version of autoconf than the one of 1.8.12? Maybe you had 
the command "autoreconf" in your 1.8.11 spec file? Honestly I don't 
really care because the rpm spec file introduces so many extra potential 
side-effects that it's quite pointless to try to track these down in 
detail. It's good enough once the build is working.
