But that may be at least part of the answer to the puzzle. Someone specifically 
made that change to the spec file, so there must be a reason why, and, of 
course, it could be (maybe just partially) wrong. What I'd do is insert the 
invocation of an interactive shell into the build, just before the actual 
install, and have a look at what has actually been built.

It should, since the code is the very same. This one may be a precedence issue. 
It looks to me like you're setting it as a configure or make argument. In that 
case I'd expect it to have a lower precedence than an actual environment 
setting. In other words, if the environment already contains a setting then 
overriding it with a make argument won't change it.
