In the process of building communicator-4.77, rpm-2.5.4 gets built. I get the
following:

cc -o rpm -static rpm.o query.o install.o verify.o checksig.o ftp.o url.o build.o  -Wl,-R/usr/pkg/lib \

Upon investigation, I found that removing realpath from libmisc.a in
rpm-2.5.4/misc removed this conflict.

Is this the proper way to resolve this???

Does the rpm-2.5.4 package need a patch to remove this???
