Thank you Ilkka, that is working on a similar idea, but less intrusive: i've 
changed lib64 to lib in a duplicate site script and made CONFIG_SITE pointing 
on the new script during rpm script execution.

Now, the build phase go further, but stops on this error:
  CCLD     libstream_out_raop_plugin.la
  CC       libstream_out_chromaprint_plugin_la-chromaprint.lo
  CXX      libstream_out_chromaprint_plugin_la-dummy.lo
  CXXLD    libstream_out_chromaprint_plugin.la

`ff_cos_32' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC

make[5]: *** [libstream_out_chromaprint_plugin.la] Error 1

Seems linker cannot deal very well between a static ffmpeg and a shared 
chromaprint object...

Best regards,
Gilles
