make dist for both Debian and Fedora?

[Daniel Pocock]

Hi,

I use a Debian system to run autoreconf and bootstrap/make dist releases
for various projects (e.g. reSIProcate)

When using the release tarball on a system like Fedora, issues with
hard-coded rpath have been discovered.

Apparently I am not alone, and this discussion has come up before in RPM
packaging.  On the RPM packaging request for reSIProcate, I've gathered
links to a few different discussions about the issue:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=892625#c11

One proposed solution appears to involve using sed to hack the configure
script into shape.  A more elegant solution appears to be re-running
autoreconf during the rpmbuild (before the call to configure)

Is there any other way to deal with this issue without any hacks?  Am I
potentially doing something wrong when I bootstrap the releases?

Regards,

Daniel
