This suggests that you are not using the same compiler as was used to
build the original fedora extras RPM. Maybe it's even a new minor
version of the compiler that has introduced some small regression.
Please do try to investigate, with the fedora extras people.

It's nice to see that the Irix MipsPro build was useful for us too.
