Description

The nightly bcc srpm from https://repo.iovisor.org/yum/nightly/f24/SRPMS/bcc-0.2.0-106.git.0d5d25e.src.rpm does not build as-is on Fedora 24. To get the build to work the made the following changes:

-specify where to find luajit headers and libraries
-correctly limits the build to x86_64
-adds needed build requires so the srpm can build on Fedora koji
-runs ldconfig so shared library information is updated
-follows spec conventions putting %changelog at the end of the file

The patch is available from http://people.redhat.com/wcohen/bcc/bcc.spec.patch
