No.  The rpm configure process should be able to detect a realpath
implementation in your libc and not build its own realpath for
libmisc.a.  We should be trying to figure out why libc's realpath is
not being detected properly on your machine.  What OS and version are
you running?  Can you provide the config.log produced by the configure
script at a publicly available URL?
