Actually, I don't think that'll work.
The $(shell ....) gmake command passes all the .... stuff to the shell. the
[ -x <filename> ] is actually a call to test -x filename.
Your logic here a || b && c, is that (a || b) and c or a || (b && c). It
should be the first one. Anyway, it would be better to change the test statement
to [ -x /usr/bin/rpm -o -x /bin/rpm ]
-shack
(which does, or atleast the test call, works)
