rpm.t should run if there are changes in files that affect the 
build-system. So, yes, changes in autogen.sh can trigger failures in 
rpm.t. However, in this case, the failure is not due to the change (or, 
well I do not expect that), but due to the fact that there was a problem 
with the network or epel mirrors.

http://build.gluster.org/job/regression/2634/consoleFull clearly shows 
some 404 errors while downloading the package-lists to setup the 
chroot... Any suggestions on how we should handle these?
