Tried a build on CentOS-5.  The "--rebuild --define 'dist el5'" seems to
be a noop.

Looks like you are building as root.  Might want to build as a normal
user for safety's sake.

Looks like a missing BuildRequires on ctags

Even after fixing the above, still failed with a similar error on the
install part - unison never got built.  The _smp_mflags seems to cause
the make to fail.  The following changes to the spec worked for me (at
least it produces and RPM that installs and runs - haven't tested much):
