Courier-0.47 RPMBuild error

Hi list

When trying to build an RPM [yes, I don't have an anvil to drop on my
foot instead! ;-P ] in FC2 (patched up2date):

// rpmbuild -ta -v courier-0.47.tar.bz2

results in the following error:

// A few lines of output to indicate at what stage this failed ...
//
// Processing files: courier-debuginfo-0.47-1.2
// Requires(rpmlib): rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1
// rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1
//

RPM build errors:
    File not found by glob:
/var/tmp/courier-0.47-1.2-buildroot/usr/local/bin/*

but ../usr/local/bin is symlinked to the directory above the directory
I'm building in.

Google searches rendered little to work on.

I would appreciate any insight for a workaround, or alt sol'n.

Thanks in advance.
