This looks like the PATH environment variable is not set properly
in the RPM build script (or your /bin/ directory is missing which
would cause severe heartburn :-).

If the government can take a man's money without his consent, there is no
limit to the additional tyranny it may practise upon him; for, with his
money, it can hire soldiers to stand over him, keep him in subjection,
plunder him at discretion, and kill him if he resists.
