Ah, ok. So I guess you are more-or-less out of luck. We simply cannot
support building RPMs on Python 2.1, and Redhat 8: You either need an
older RPM package (where rpm -ba still works), or a newer Python
(where rpmbuild is used).

Replacing distutils wholesale should probably work, as well, but no
distutils release is forthcoming.
