It turns out that our current build of rpm doesn't use the /usr/lib/rpm/platform/<name>/macros files (but installs them). It isit is intended that one of them (matching the requested platform) is loaded after processing the main /usr/lib/rpm/macros file to override platform-specific definitions.

Instead of using these files, some platform-specific values as I see are put right into /usr/lib/rpm/rpmrc (like the ones dealing with per-platform optimization options).

We should either make these files work or completely drop them from the distribution.

It tuns out that many packages now depend on the /@unixroot/bin/sh file (i.e. have it among their requirements). This is a virtual dependency since this file doesn't even exist. Instead, it is virtually provided by the ash package.

Since it's a non-existent file, this dependency in the given form looks very strange. Perhaps it is a deviation of the common /bin/sh dependency found in many linux packages but this still doesn't make it sane. If we want a virtual dependency, it's better to stick with sh instead as it doesn't create any path confusion.

pthread-devel should depend on pthread. In the current spec file this is not the case.
