Runs very well under Fedora 7, as long as you build it there.

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.
