Let me try to explain: RPM_OPT_FLAGS is the rpm internal variable, which is
propagated to configure as CFLAGS or CXXFLAGS.

I.e. typical use case inside of rpm.specs
configure CFLAGS="${RPM_OPT_FLAGS}"

Well, explaining all this would be beyond the scope of this BZ.

Very oversimplied the issue is the Makefile.ams contain spots which override
optimization flags.

Try building with CFLAGS = -O2. Most of the Makefile.am are designed to let
this CFLAGS override the hard-coded -O3's, however there are spots where these
CFLAGS don't override the hard-coded -O3.

It's a bug of the rpm.spec.

You are right, I wrong and didn't look carefully enough.

The package aborts building when gettext is not installed

I didn't do so deliberately.

Meanwhile I found for this breakdown seems to have been an old existing
~/.lives. After having removed it lives started.

c.f. above.
