I was able to build emacs-23.0 from your svn rpm, using your 
libotf, on F8, i686 hardware.  The first attempt failed at the
"make bootstrap" dump, as discussed in etc/PROBLEMS.  Disabling
exec-shield and then running rpmbuild using setarch:

$ setarch i386 -R rpmbuild -bb emacs.spec

produced working rpms.  Thanks.
