Ok. I've never built an rpm before I'll it a try but Makfiles are not my
thing. I suspect that we might be having problems with the abidistfiles. I
think the names were changed and the types too were changed from
*.hash.zip to *.hash. The rpm building script might be getting confused at
this point.
Just a total guess on my part.
