Seems to be fine after building on a slightly newer system.
(Still have broad coverage so that the new Herc can "drop in"

How new? The distribution RPM was built on Red Hat 9, but I'm probably going
to put up a new system for building on due to some incompatibilities. I'd
like to use as old a system as possible, however, jsut to make it as broadly
useful as possible.
Bear in mind that rpm changes over time, and some rpms that used to
build might not now.
If you can manage it (with xen?), I suggest building on a fully
virtualised RHL<ancient> and RHEL-clone<recent,recent>. You don't need
to distribute binaries for both, just verify the build and execution for
both before releasing binaries.
I s'pose one could use recent Fedora rather than RHEL-Clone.
