rpm-4.2.1 compiles but has a linking error during install.

The error is as follows:

mkdir /var/tmp/portage/rpm-4.2.1/image/var/lib
mkdir /var/tmp/portage/rpm-4.2.1/image/var/lib/rpm
ln: creating symbolic link `/var/tmp/portage/rpm-4.2.1/image//usr/lib64/rpm/rpmt
' to `rpmb': No such file or directory
make[2]: *** [install-data-local] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/rpm-4.2.1/work/rpm-4.2.1'
make[1]: *** [install-am] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/rpm-4.2.1/work/rpm-4.2.1'
make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1

I'm using the new 64ul/power5 profile.

4.2.1 was found not to compile on ppc64.  So I marked -ppc64 and then marked
4.2-r1 stable, which does compile.
