You mean "Provides" here?

I don't have any problem to build rpm on my machine - recent
rpm.spec and patches, db{,-devel,-static}-3.1.17-3.
Symbols db3vec, db3Free, db3New are defined in librpm.so.

BTW, there is also db3 3.2.9 in SOURCES (for openoffice)...
But simply changing version in db3.spec is not enough to build.

And my (independent of above) proposal is adding macros:

%debugcflags    -O0 -g
%rpmcflags      %{?debug:%debugcflags}%{!?debug:%optflags}
%rpmldflags     %{!?debug:-s}

Any objections? Alternative names?
If not, I'm going to put those lines to macros.pld.
