Yes -- it looks like the latest version of RPM has a lame parser that
doesn't distinguish between commands and command-like tokens in the
changelog.

It's not required. If you don't have g77, then the fortran interface
won't be built.

How it works has not changed, but if a) if you don't specify --with-rsh,
and b) rsh is not found, then c) configure will look for ssh. Are you
referring to something else?
If you want a spec file with the changelog issue fixed, look in LAM's CVS:
contrib/dist/linux/lam-generic.spec. This is the specfile that we'll use
to build the 7.0.1 RPM.
