+Summary: An incorrect dependency causes rebuilding of libgstreamer on "make install"
+
+When I build an rpm for GStreamer, I do the usual
+"./configure ...; make; make install" routine as suggested elsewhere.
+However, on "make install" I see that a part of the build tree, including
+libgstreamer-0.7.la, gets rebuilt. This can be nasty, because a typical
+"run make install" rpm macro in many distributions relocates $(libdir) and
+other makefile variables to a temporary install root. As the result, the
+rebuilt libstreamer-0.7.la gets this bogus libdir setting written into it,
+and, by the time a dependant libgstcontrol shared library is installed, it
+gets relinked with a bogus rpath. A pedantic packaging verify script frowns
+at such things.
+
+The cause of the problem was tracked down to the following rule in
+'gst/parse/Makefile.am':
+
+lex._gst_parse_yy.c: parse.l grammar.tab.h
+        $(FLEX_PATH) -P_gst_parse_yy $^
+
+'grammar.tab.h' is rebuilt by a bison invocation _after_ the first flex
+invocation at the "make" stage, making the target stale. In fact, this
+header file doesn't affect the flex's output and should never be made a
+dependency in this rule in the first place.
