Brian Behlendorf a32661a6c9 Avoid 'rpm -q' bug for 'make pkg'
RPM version 4.9.0 has been observed to generate extra debug
messages in certain cases.  These debug messages prevent us
from cleanly acquiring the architecture.  This is clearly
an upstream RPM bug which will get fixed.  But until then
a safe solution is to pipe the result through 'tail -1'
to just grab the architecture bit we care about.

Example 'rpm -qp spl-0.6.0-rc4.src.rpm --qf %{arch}' output:

The Solaris Porting Layer (SPL) is a Linux kernel module which provides many of the Solaris kernel APIs. This shim layer makes it possible to run Solaris kernel code in the Linux kernel with relatively minimal modification. This can be particularly useful when you want to track upstream Solaris development closely and dont want the overhead of maintaining a large patch which converts Solaris primitives to Linux primitives.

To build packages for your distribution:

$ ./configure
$ make pkg

Full documentation for building, configuring, and using the SPL can be found at: http://zfsonlinux.org
