Resolves: https://pagure.io/packaging-committee/issue/886

One thing from me: Using %global __brp_check_rpaths %{nil} MUST be accompanied with an explaining comment.

There is a tool called check-rpaths which runs as a buildroot policy script after %install, that will check for common rpath issues.

It is not clear from the sentence that the build will fail if such issues are found.

We discussed this at this weeks meeting (https://meetbot-raw.fedoraproject.org/fedora-meeting-1/2021-07-08/fpc.2021-07-08-16.08.txt):

Can this PR be closed, or was there something else that you wanted the FPC to discuss/decide? I'm moving the PR to needinfo because nothing has really happened in months, but it might be better to just close and reference it in a new PR if you want to do a change.

Why closed? This needs to actually happen, the current guidelines don't reflect the reality.

He's just trying to get the current status of a number of PRs, including this one.
