I maintain the Debian packages, and it worked for me on Debian. You can
always look at Debian's .diff.gz in the source/ tree. The diff contains,
among other things, debian/rules, a 'meta-makefile'. While these might
contain a lot of calls to our build tools, it will _always_ contain what we
do for the 'configure; make; make install' cycle and might therefore be of
help.

Let me know if you run into trouble. I am not sure if I can help (.rpm not
spoken here), but I can at least run it by alien's author, another
Debianite.
