The check set in checkpkg is continuously updated, and build recipes
that looked good so far, might start triggering errors.

This particular error is not serious, you could override it. However,
if you set a variable and it doesn't propagate well, it means that
either there's something wrong with the gperf build system and it
doesn't process the environment properly, or you don't have the full
understanding of how the build works.

Just to double-check: did you notice the difference between -norunpath
and -xnorunpath?
