OK, I tried the extra macros above, and then your rpm and rpm-build 4.4, 
then both, and I'm still getting:

checking if we can use inotify... "no"
configure: error: inotify requested but not available
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.26119 (%build)

A quick look there shows configure was indeed called with 
--with-inotify=inotify.

I feel really stupid now :-(

Cheers,

John.
