Seriously, this line is longer than 80 characters and can be split in two but 
not in four as some developers usually make it.

Conclusion is: some developers are paranoids and they must break lines after 
%{__make} and put every single its argument in separate line, without 
necessity (even if %{__make} and its all arguments to fit in 60-80 char.). 
They also force others to makeing the same senseless things.
