 the --with-included-popt option is passed to ./configure.

+If you configure using --enable-maintainer-mode, then rsync will try

+RPM NOTES
+---------

+Under packaging you will find .spec files for several distributions.
+The .spec file in packaging/lsb can be used for Linux systems that

+HP-UX NOTES
+-----------
+
+The HP-UX 10.10 "bundled" C compiler seems not to be able to cope with
+ANSI C.  You may see this error message in config.log if ./configure
+fails:
+
+  (Bundled) cc: "configure", line 2162: error 1705: Function prototypes are an ANSI feature.
+
+Install gcc or HP's "ANSI/C Compiler".

+MAC OSX NOTES
+-------------
+
+Mac OS X (Darwin) seems to have an IPv6 stack, but it does not
+completely implement the "New Sockets" API.  
+
+<http://www.ipv6.org/impl/mac.html> says that Apple do not support
+IPv6 yet.  If your build fails, try again with --disable-ipv6.

+IBM AIX NOTES
+-------------
+
+IBM AIX has a largefile problem with mkstemp.  See IBM PR-51921.
+The workaround is to append the below to config.h

+	#undef HAVE_SECURE_MKSTEMP
