Probably F-15 has older gas (binutils-2.21.51.0.6-2.fc15) than expected by upstream glibc commit 27390476. And because Fedora's toolchain defaults to -march=z9-109 we can revert this commit I think.

Comment 1 Dan Horák 2011-06-09 12:35:49 UTC 
binutils-2.21.52.0.1-1.fc16 is required for successful build as is contains gas updated with the new .machine pseudo-op
