Stephen, please note that we are not simply speaking about machines
_running_ a specific distro but about machines running a distro
_and_also_ doing development. As Michael has pointed out, one can very
well do development on one distro (i.e. run mock on a Fedora box for
instance) and test the compiled stuff on EL-3 / EL-4 / EL-5.
BTW, I think that it would be nice to have a clear reference somewhere
in the wiki for configs with the options needed to build for EL-3. (Yes,
I know EPEL does not support this distro but a) as pointed above there
are quite a lot of machines in use and b) it would not hurt.)
If somebody wants to add this to the wiki, go ahead.
Here are the configs I personally use to compile packages for RHEL 3
i386 and x86_64. You probably want to point the baseurls at a handy
mirror, I have an internal one I maintain.
