Correct.

>>Such kind of errors usually indicate that a package doesn't honor CFLAGS/LDFLAGS correctly, e.g. overrides them with something incompatible.

It should then fail in RHEL5 as well

>>Another situation I've seen this error occur, is a package containing prebuilt binaries.

I am not sure but I think there is no prebuilt binary...My guess is if there is a change in gcc or find-debuginfo.sh which is causing the problem.
