libexecdir in FHS nobody started, first feedback from FHS' editors, ongoing Get involved in FHS discussions to resurrect libexec in the FHS: Mail thread Is this link correct?
issue moved up to FHS' bugzilla: Bug #101
Python virtual Provides nobody Later Python virtual provides draft Panu has been looking at this as part of rpm itself.
CFlags Prohibition nobody unknown Don't manually set CFLAGS in the spec, %configure should do it for you.
