No objections here.

Just a FYI, attached is my patch for rpm-4.1.1-1 (release candidate).
NB: As well as applying the patch, you *must* also remove the elfutils

NB2: This patch changes generated files without making the corresponding
change in their sources. I didn't need to reautotool rpm, so I didn't.
