i was referring to error linking b2sum, that tool is not needed for 
building /bin/rpm as far i know.
currently there's no configure option to disable building tests or utils 
like b2sum

the build logs should be still available:

well, you said: "The issue is related to eliminating 
RPM_I18NSTRING_TYPE, there is likely a rpmbuild issue … easy fixing 
todo++. I seem to recall fixing this problem before ... ". i'm sorry but 
i have no clues what "eliminating RPM_I18NSTRING_TYPE" means as end 
result. to me it seems just lingua used by rpm-developers to refer some 
internal structures i definately do not need to understand.

so i assumed you will "fix" it.

if the result is still grabaged seen with rpm 4.5.15 (or rpm 4.5), i 
don't see how this is going to play well in real world. such major abi 
breakages should be introduced in next major version, or at least 
possible to --enable-i18n configure option to build compatible for use 
of older rpm versions.
