The binary executables outputted by pp (on Linux) are not valid ELF binaries because it basically attaches a zip archive to the binary loader and does not modify the ELF headers to reflect that. When building an RPM archive, the validity of the ELF headers is checked by default. This can result in problems when packaging pp-ed binaries in RPM archives.
