After looking at this same issue for a bit today, I figured I'd share my
findings for the #2 problem below.
It looks to me like the 3.7.2 make.d/boel_binaries.inc file was not updated
in this release to reflect changes to the current dosfstools Makefile. (patch
attached)
I also found it necessary to pull the dosfstools.50-2.8-linuxheaders.patch
patch from trunk to successfully build the 3.7.2 rpms on RHEL4.
These are in addition to the spec file fix already mentioned below.
