Just for the heck of it, I added "-m32" to the makefile, building it as 32bit binary/library and it worked just fine. Seems to be 64bit only problem.
Reported up-stream: Problem 1997.
FYI, fixed in FC6. - Gilboa
Created attachment 145370 [details] One reproducer tarball built on FC4-GOLD.x86_64. Thanks for the report and sorry the resolving lacked so far.

This report targets the FC3 or FC4 products, which have now been EOL'd. Could you please check that it still applies to a current Fedora release, and either update the target product or close it ? Thanks.
