In any case, today I was able to successfully install and run a Fedora VM on my laptop (which is more underpowered than the desktop machine), although I did a few things differently like using a fixed-size VBox disk image and installing a 32-bit system. After that, and after installing some packages, I was able to prepare a Fedora-friendly freecell-solver .src.rpm and submitted it here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=885346 Another thing I considered doing in the Fedora VM was an install of the Oracle RDBMS (which I was told was free for development purposes) and play with it a little. Not sure I'll do that, but I might.
