Broken RPM package with 1.9.12

[sunnybear@…]

Hello. It seems something is broken with 1.9.12 (11+?) source. With rpmbuild 1.9.10 version goes well. But 1.9.12 is buggy (no support for some core modules - gzip, charset, etc).

Correct 1.9.10 shows

and everything is fine

Incorect 1.9.12 shows

and nginx -t gives
unknown directive "gzip" in /etc/nginx/nginx.conf

RPM spec is attached. Maybe some flags are required with new modular structure?

[Maxim Dounin]

No new flags are required. However, some 3rd party modules used to dig into various nginx build internals, and this may break things due to changes made in nginx 1.9.11. Consider compiling nginx without 3rd party modules, it should help.
