I have some issues compared to 5.3.5 where it was easy to fix. This is not the
case with the current git HEAD

1. configure and Makefile should allow docdir parameter given at as an arg

generated documentation (ie. html pdf) and other docs (README License etc)
should be located in for opensuse /usr/share/doc/packages/PACKAGE-NAME since
documention can be packaged separately and the end user has the option of not
installing it/them.

2. collects path should be allowed for another location ie.
/usr/lib/racked/collects for opensuse should be /usr/share/racket/collects

Finally currently build system  can't complete the install stage 

./racketcgc -cu "./collects-path.rkt" \
"/home/abuild/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/racket-5.6.0-0.x86_64/usr/lib64/racket/starter" \
/usr/lib64/racket/collects 

vector-ref: index is out of range
   index: 2
   valid range: [0, 1]
   vector: '#("/home/abuild/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/racket-5.6.0-0.x86_64/usr/lib64/racket/starter"
              "/usr/lib64/racket/collects")

So at the moment I haven't been able to create a rpm package

the configure options are

%configure  --enable-shared \
--disable-static  --docdir=%_defaultdocdir/%name
--disable-strip --enable-places
--enable-lt="/usr/bin/libtool"

make

make install DESTDIR=/BUILDROOT/%{name}-%{version}-%{release}.x86_64


Thanks
