The SPEC files will be left in the rpm's SPECS directory after a failed
rebuild (/usr/src/OpenLinux on Caldera, /usr/src/redhat on Red Hat and
Cobalt).  If you don't know, you run ``rpm --showrc'', and look for
_specdir.  Piping through less is probably a good idea since the output of
--showrc got pretty ugly along about the rpm-3.x releases.
